The course WAS interesting. Particularly with previous iterations of it, or those courses offered by Jeff Kroeker. The course content and cases are also interesting. However, taking it with Jocelyn is a bit difficult and there are several inconsistencies.

Jocelyn makes it appear like she cares about student feedback, by having an open feedback form throughout the semester, as well as an early informal feedback (separate from the early feedback collected by Sauder).
