The course was very informative and provided a great elaboration on the concepts discussed. I found it important to incorporate the historical aspect of the research field and how it has evolved over time. The case studies allowed for a constructive self-evaluation of the material within each module. The videos were also a productive form of reinforcing the concepts discussed.
