STUDENT FEEDBACK

I am grateful for being able to take both the Middle East course from Edx and the philosophy course from Coursera. The Middle East course helped me decide which topic to choose for my founders night paper, and I was able to write eleven pages for the rough draft. The philosophy course was taken more for fun and learning. The philosophy course made me think about life differently and was cool to have different teachers teach me. The thing that I liked the most about the courses was not just learning but the fact that I was being taught by professors from the worlds best colleges and universities.
