14. Use this space for any comments you may have about the course, the instructor, readings, etc.
- I recently switched majors, and had to take this course as a prerequisite for my new major. I have studied, in depth, all of the topics touched in this class in as courses. This is why the first section scores so low for this course, as for myself it could not have come at a worst time in my curriculum. I could have called it 'basic math and logic review 101', however for other students I am certain they got more out of the class.
- This man should not be teaching - he was disorganized, pruned standard subject material off the course whenever he felt like it, and missed more class than the students. He also taught the same lesson three classes in a row. Literally- same slides, same examples everything. They weren't even his slides, they were from some other university. Honestly, if I could get a refund I would.
