• The lectures were all stimulating
• Well organized and structured. Good variety of profs and topics.
• Good selection of topics
• Even before reading about the topics and the profs, the idea appealed to me. That I can learn about a specific topic by a prof who is highly knowledgeable about the subject. It’s like being at Sheridan Nurseries, for example, and finding the right individual who can help me with my specific planting needs. Or, it’s like having some of these great minds, who specialize in a topic, come to my home for lunch or dinner and we, that is my friends and I, get to have great conversations together with them, of course, about a topic which we either know about or don’t know about.
