The best aspects of the course were the thought-provoking in-class dialogues and the stimulating texts. The worst aspect of the course was the heavy readings. The course would improve if the class were separated into two days each week, in order to facilitate better discussions. It would also improve if the amount of readings were lessened. Prospective students should know that this course involves extensive readings and class participation. 192
