What Students Are Saying

“The guest lectures are super interesting for me to learn about different topics of human performance and the worksheets help keep me engaged. I like working in groups to break up the lectures.” Engineering Junior

“This is probably my favorite class I’ve ever taken, and it couldn’t have come at a better time as I am starting to think more seriously about what I want to do after college.” LSA Junior
