Fun and interesting course! The tests and assignments were not at all a breeze but definitely doable and interesting themselves. The content was fascinating all the way through, since it's grounded entirely in our daily experiences but with a perspective we seldom take. Taking this as an urban planning student gave me a whole new appreciation for design, and the complexities therein.
