Spring 2022 Course Evaluations

What aspect(s) of the course or instruction could be improved?

I don’t have any more suggestions. Everything I suggested midway through the semester got implemented. Making an estate plan was fine, but doing that ans having a final was a bit much. Perhaps pick one or the other Stop interrupting students in the middle of their answer. It was cringe watching people try to contribute and get spoken to like they were imbeciles.
