This course was highlighted by the variety of material covered, the group discussions, hands-on demonstrations, and the engaging lecture style of the professor. Some students found the lack of exams led them to put little effort into learning the material, while others wanted more time for discussions. Suggestions to improve the course included giving time to revise the final paper and more interactive lectures. Prospective students should know that you don’t need a science background to get a lot from this course. The workload was light and given the range of material covered there was something for everyone.
