The best aspects of this course were the interesting content, engaging lectures, group discussions and exercises, and effective teaching style of the instructor. Students appreciated the hands-on, interactive approach to teaching the concepts and skil s introduced in class. Graded assignments were not handed back in a timely fashion and the al otted time for class was not long enough. Suggestions for improvement included having the course extend over the entire semester, making information accessible to students via Blackboard, and having feedback returned to students in a timelier manner.
