Class review

This class was different from anything that I have experienced before. I had the first impression that it was going to a very abstract class. However I learned that it had a very relevant topic, which more people should be aware about. Molecular machines are a major part of everybody's lives even though people may not know this.
I enjoyed the format of the class. It gave a lot of freedom to me and what I wanted to learn. Global warming was a topic which I was very interested in prior to the class, and I found out so much more about the topic because learned about it on the molecular level. The papers and the presentations allowed me to help other people learn about this topic too, and this is what made the class a success.
I think that the blogging could be improved though. I think that a specific topic should be given, instead of a random string of posts. Plus I think that there should have been a little more explanation on what was wanted in the first presentations. I know that the first groups that went did not really know and I think that they were put at a disadvantage. I had the opportunity to go later and I think that my presentation benefited from seeing others prior.
