What students say
Takes the student through the full context of the course subject matter. Wonderful insight into how we strayed and its consequences and offers a solution.
It's refreshing listening to ideas and thoughts that would be discussed in a classroom setting. It's been quite a few years since I have been in that type of setting. It's nice to be back. It gets the creative juices running in the brain again.
Content is well presented; the students are stellar in their responses and questions. Prof. Arnn does a fabulous job balancing teaching and allowing students to participate. Above all he makes complex ideas easy to understand.
