What is your favorite thing about this class?
"My favorite thing about the class is the class is actually very small. There’s about 12-15 people in the class, so the class is really interactive. We do discussions online, we read books for the discussions, and we also get to explore problems in our lives that we can potentially solve for ourselves as well as others."

What is your favorite part of this class?
“The interdisciplinary aspect. I get to work with students from all different backgrounds and all different studies, even different colleges. We are working with industrial designers, graphics designers, and as a business student I’m really getting to hone my skills, as well as get real world experience working with other disciplines.”
