Marie-Anne Visoi (Faculty)
Excellent course content and resources: very well organized, presented clearly and combining efficient use of theoretical concepts with workshops, lectures and a Question and Answer feature. I plan to use the on-line course for my undergraduate courses.
Technical Remarks:
Students should be able to find specific information and return to previous concepts for review easily.
