31.   What changes would you make in the lectures?
I prefer higher pace in order to be exposed to more material. My suggestion is that for each lecture, the instructor gives reading assignments for further reading and discussion on the topic. By that, we can save more time and cover more topics.


32.   Which aspects of the course were most valuable?


33.   Which aspects of the course were least valuable?
Spending too much time on some material hindered us to go over more topics.


34.   What advice would you give to students, who might be taking this course in the future?
