>70% rate the course as excellent or very good
eye –opening
it was awesome!! :-)
an opportunity to know the experiences of other scientists
gave me the opportunity to clarify doubts about science practice I always had and never solved
a good opportunity for reflection
enlightening
fruitful, entertaining and knowledgeable
entertaining and resourceful
an enriching experience, I've been able to discuss on topics I haven't had the chance to give my opinion elsewhere
makes you think about real life problems that you are not aware of during your studying years
made me think about a lot of very important things I didn't know existed!
Consider things that we don't usually think about. Great experience!
I think it should be compulsory for undergraduates, too
enlightening concepts and ideas that we roughly knew but not in depth
very interactive and useful course
really interesting and necessary for young researchers
