14. Use this space for any comments you may have about the course, the instructor, readings, etc.
- While the undergrads in the class were given fewer problems on the homeworks, they were still given problems that were the same level of difficulty, which I think was a little unfair. The readings were very helpful, though, and the books were very well chosen. Also, the project at the end of the semester was kind of stressful, especially since so many of the undergrads were seniors currently working on their Senior Designs.
