The best aspects of this course included the guest lecturers, the opportunity to create one’s own project, and the discussion-based format. Some students felt the class needed more structure. Also students felt the expectations for the projects were not well-explained. Suggestions included varying the responses to each of the readings and incorporating a few more lectures from the class instructor. Prospective students should know this is a reading-intensive class.
