The only issue I had with the program was the fact that we weren't allowed access to our dorms. We had one key for four people and no access to the main door. I thought being there for a week and being active in a program we could have a little more freedom. |

| Instruction Language: | English |
| Comments: | The course was very informative. Dr. Zeman is very knowledgeable about the topic area and she is passionate about teaching us. I thought it was strange that she selected a book that had so many errors in it though. It was poorly written, and I assume there is a better book out there that teaches us the same way. My only issue with the course was working with the Romanian students. It was all fine to begin with, but they were just not very cooperative. They looked down upon us most of the time we spoke, and expected us to do the work for the presentations because they were busy with school. |
