Richard Light, Harvard University, 2003
“Peer review ensures that the material is correct, as well as relevant, original and well
written for the readers.” Ellen Yi-Luen Do, Department of Architecture, University of
Washington, 2004

standards of the discipline and subtler standards of collegiality, behavior and ethics.”

19. I’ve never done this well in a math class. I learned I can do math! The curiosity
we had as kids fades away and now we need practical applications. This class
has it! I especially enjoyed reading everyone’s video project report (and writing
my own). – AS Spring 2012
This is the first math class I’ve actually enjoyed, ever! Math C100 (Liberal Arts
Math) is one of the best courses I’ve ever taken. – RM Fall 2011
This is the most valuable and relevant math class I’ve ever taken. I learned
new things and found new Internet sites I’ll be sharing with my whole family. I
will recommend this course to friends over and over. – LG Summer 2011
The video project made me go from being terrified of math to being totally
respectful and in awe of math. Anyone frustrated with algebra or geometry
should take this course. – GG Spring 2011
I recommend this class to everyone. I always wondered where and when
anyone would use math. This course answered that question: Everywhere and
all the time! – MB Fall 2010
This course should be a requirement for all college students. Seriously! You’re
not just memorizing stuff. You’re learning how to explain and better
understand the world around you. – SL Summer 2010
