Quotes:

The course should be mandatory! It is so relevant and so important, I think for every area but especially in technology!!! […]

Would recommend to give feedback on the essay, as I felt like it was not read and did not mean anything for the course. Did not really learn anything from writing it as I did not get feedback.

Being an intensive course, the diversity in methods providing were really good!! Learnt a lot of the documentaries, maybe focus more on some that are newer - or at least talk and provide resources on the current situation in discussions after, I think is important.
