Very interesting class, enjoyed the content
by Dustin R. on April 1, 2025
This explanation of the cultural differences argument and its challenges was incredibly clear and insightful. The breakdown of each option, and why the "universal ethical truths" point is the most significant, was spot-on. Highly recommend for anyone looking to understand this complex topic. 5 stars!
by Michael E. on April 1, 2025

by Dustin R. on April 1, 2025
Fantastic test! It was comprehensive, well-structured, and really helped me gauge my understanding of design principles. The questions were engaging, and I appreciated how they covered a wide range of topics. Definitely a great way to test my knowledge!
by Josh A. on April 1, 2025
good and informative
by Lucy L. on April 1, 2025
All of the info is there. It is primarily up to you to shove it all into your brain. I think I did well because I had taken this class years ago, so most of it was a refresher.
