A Look Back
| * What did you like most about the program? |
|
| * What could be improved? |
|
| * What do you know now that you wish you knew before going on this program? | The grading scale is FAR more difficult to attain that it is made to seem. Thankfully them come in and modify it later in the semester because they know it is difficult. But living with that uncertainty was very unnerving. |
