14. Use this space for any comments you may have about the course, the instructor, readings, etc.
  • This course was very solid... I really can't think of any way to improve it. Perhaps some more timely feedback on assignments.
  • Great course, very interesting, professor always had good insight into the subject and any problems that came up. Still waiting for feedback on the paper, though.
