Be wary of first peer reviewed assignment--requires detailed readings and not all reviewers take the time to read what you wrote or even the rubric.

Excellent. This is all new to me. However, these 2 professors make me want to learn more and more. They were both very clear in their presentations.

would be perfect if the instructors can grade our assignments as well, or even for the assignment provide some sort of very simple example answer. Overall it's a good course.
