Course Review

As a part of our course we have been requested to write a bit about our thoughts on the course.


I must congratulate Adam Muir on his running of the course, he managed to make the lectures interesting by allowing the class to have open discussions about the topic while at the same time being able to apply what was being discussed back to the lecture topic. Having only ever experienced courses from the business faculty which is focused on work related topics which have right and wrong answers, it was a nice change being able to talk about topics many of which had multiple possible answers, or perhaps no answer at all.

I found the topics to be interesting not only from the perspective of a business student with the open source/free software available to use, but from a personal perspective, due to the fact that none of the people I know really show any interest in the philosophical questions of life the universe and everything, apart from quoting the Hitchhikers Guide by shouting '42' when the conversation turns to the topic. I found it a pleasantly intellectually stimulating experience being able to voice my thoughts and ideas to students from different faculties.

The fact that everyone had a good time and the course material was covered I'd have to give Adam 'a high distinction' for his teaching style and his management of the course.
