STUDENT FEEDBACK

Teaching : Testimonials

I think what contributed the most to my learning was that the course was challenging. The random in-class quizzes forced me to spend more time studying the powerpoint and readings outside of class, which really helped me learn the material. Because the instructor gave very detailed feedback on each paper, I also feel that my writing has improved.
