The good parts of this course were getting hands-on experience and working with other talented students. However, students said it was poorly organized and that the judging of presentations was unfair. They suggested that the course could be improved by better grading and more feedback on graded assignments. They also said the lectures were not really necessary and could be shortened or eliminated. The course has a heavy workload, but can be very rewarding.

Students loved the freedom and experience of building something physical to address a real-world problem in the medical field. They thought this course provided an invaluable experience and loved the hands-on approach. They found that the course was somewhat disorganized, and that the grading criteria were confusing and unclear. Students suggested getting rid of the quizzes and providing very clear directions and expectations for assignments. Prospective students should be prepared to commit almost all of their time to this course but are highly encouraged to take the course for the experience.

Students appreciated the freedom this class offered to explore the design process and apply their skil s. They thought the biggest drawback of the course was a lack of feedback from the instructors, including better explanation of their grades by faculty and reviewers.

They felt it was valuable for others considering taking this class to know that it was time consuming but very rewarding.
