Student Comments:

“This is a new course offering. It was thoughtfully put together. There was no lack of resources for us to access. The assignments were well constructed to make me review what I learned, organize the concepts, and articulate them in concrete realities.”

“Absolutely loved this course. From the small groups (though I feel like I got lucky with my classmates, and I suppose it could have gone the other way too) to the class discussion, to the fun exercises during class that shook things up, the entire experience exceeded my expectations. Figured it would be a dry and boring course on doctrine, but this was most definitely not that.”

“[The instructor] was superb in presenting and using technology. Sakai took some learning for this Luddite, but once I was up to speed, I realized just how powerful and useful the platform is. [The instructor] used it so beautifully!”
