| Instructor: | Robert Clark |
| Instruction Language: | English |
| Comments: | Not so much as challenging as boring and disjointed. The professor mainly just wanted to hear his own lectures and point said back to him in essays, and limited analytical thinking. Seemed more inclined just to lecture than offer help or strong key concepts. |
