| * The seminars were of the most benefit. The least useful and at times downright irritating was teh textbook. To start with the textbook doesn't even have the authors full name listed, little to no information was available on the author, and some of her textbook definitions were seemingly adapted by her to suit her needs. A slightly gender biased book in my opinion. | |||||||||
