The presentation was extraordinary. Dr Wieda's background in teaching was evident in such a positive way. her presentation had substantial breath and depth at just the right level. I took notes and will explore many of the topics she presented. I've taken other Context courses and this one was among the VERY best
The lecture was interesting and I learned a lot that I never knew such as source of language, presence of Vikings and crusaders.
