Dr. Martin made this highly informative class a joy to watch. :0)
I would have preferred less camera focus on the lecturer and more use of illustrations, charts, etc. It was a little boring just watching the lecturer talk.
Terrific! Enlightening! Entertaining!
Thank you so much!
An absolutely amazing course with an enthusiastic, engaging professor. I would give more stars if I could! I learned so much and was constantly excited for the next lesson.
