Students appreciated the engaging instruction of the instructor for this course. They also enjoyed the well-balanced combination of lecture and discussion, as wel as the opportunity to hear from guest speakers. Students thought the course’s greatest drawback was its short length and thought that it could be improved by being expanded to a ful semester. Students thought it was useful for potential participants to know that they found this class was a useful opportunity for personal reflection and that the course had a light workload of assignments.

The best aspects of this course were the interesting class discussions, the opportunity to learn about leadership theory, and the professor’s enthusiasm. Students appreciated the interactive nature of the class as well as the guest lecturers. Some students felt that the lecture PowerPoints were long and repetitive. Many students would have preferred the course to be longer than eight weeks. Suggestions for improvement included having more opportunities to visit campus departments and organizations. This class was highly recommended and prospective students are encouraged to take this interesting course with the listed instructor.
