| Comments: | THe course included in class lecture, structured workshops, structured study groups, and several visits to local companies/ occupational therapists. The textbook was great. All of the teachers had a strong command for the material and presented it well in English. The exams were challenging, but just right for the material we learned in class. It was a very practical, applicable, hands-on class. |
| Credit Transfer Issues: | No credit transfer problems |
