It really helps. The field trip was great. It should be recommended to all. The instructor handles a large class very well. The lecture-notes, overheads, slides, and demonstrations were helpful.
Lab is good ungraded but as bonus.
The subject was presented in an interesting way. Kent made the lectures entertaining and informative. I just thought that the tests were more intense than expected. I was always pretty worried after taking them. Way to easy to be college level.
