English

Please comment on the course:

The field trips and outside-of-class activities were very interesting, and the lectures were informative, but the smaller response papers were not insightful and graded very harshly. Overall, I felt that I did not take away much from this class beyond surface-level information.

Did you have any credit transfer issues upon return to your home institution? If so, what would you suggest to other students?

Yes, my home institution only gave me .8 credit for each class. They add up to a full semester's worth of credit, but I'm having trouble transferring .8 of a credit to my major.
