Well rounded view of being a scientist, but slightly idealistic explanation of science and scientists. At first I thought I would not like the course because of the insertion of the movie clips. But I really like it now and have been thinking of ways to possibly incorporate that into my courses.

To be honest, this course is much harder than it seems. To truly understand it is quite a challenge, and while it is easy to grasp it intellectualy, the test is very hard to pass due to the trickiness of the questions posed. Love it .
