Excellent material taught in an accessible way. Wonderful to share my own work and receive feedback and learn the critical thinking skills to give useful feedback also to others. Great stuff

A brilliant course with an enthusiastic tutor! I found the peer rating system difficult to use, but it would be worth signing up just for the videos, so I haven't taken off any stars for that...
