KEY: Couldn't have asked for more. Pretty good. Could've been better, but didn't lessen the overall experience. Disappointing.
Course recommendations:
The interaction with local students was really poor. The course was almost attended by international students and this isn't so good because you hear different international pronunciations (with mistakes) all the time.
