I absolutely LOVED this course and I was sorry to see it end. I may audit the course, and go through this one several times. It is THAT good. I have never reviewed a course with five stars before, but I'd give this one 10 stars if I could.

This course was amazing. It provided facts from numerous venues and actually sought students opinions. What a concept.

This is a great and short opportunity to delve into yourself and the basis of your own decisions.

Way too short. Seems like they did not try very hard. Too bad because it's a fascinating subject.
