14. Use this space for any comments you may have about the course, the instructor, readings, etc.
- The instructor was very difficult to interact with. He needs to learn how to let his students complete their questions or statements before interrupting them. He is a very poor listener, and as a consequence often cannot understand what people are having a hard time with.
