The class covers a big variety of topics in such a short period of time. The lectures are sometimes too shallow, but I really enjoyed how multidisciplinary the contents are. Both Prof. Prakash and Prof. Fuentes express a clear and critical perspective of the topics. The content is fairly international and diverse.
