  • My only gripe with this course is that I wish the final essay was more open-ended, it would’ve been more enjoyable to explore and defend our own interpretations instead of Pope Francis’. Additionally, feedback would've been nice. Overall, the online offering was easy (4 online quizzes based off of the modules and a final essay addressing one of three prompts).
