  • Some interesting content but overall super Western/individualism centred.

  • Information you'll learn that will be helpful for the rest of your life, its the beauty of the SMF program. The textbook is straightforward, just read it and pay attention to toni's lectures! Has a story for almost everything you'll learn, such a fun class!
