I was kind of let down by this class... I do think that the professor was somewhat going through it, but she was often very rude to both students and invited speakers, and was also quite uneducated on several topics related to the course.
I do think that the concept is interesting, but I would have liked more of an emphasis to be placed on student participation.
The professor is obviously quite brilliant, but I don't believe the class reached its full potential. It isn't a huge time commitment and the workload is fairly light. It can be fun but don't set your expectations super high.
