Great course. Self-reflection and experiential learning is so important. You really also get super close with your classmates even though the majority of it is online. The canoe trip and camping was so amazing (though mosquitos are killer in June) and the knowledge you gain was super insightful. Professor Brian Grimwood is the best. Fun course! ITS ALSO WORTH A FULL CREDIT! (2 courses worth)
