Access to the readings was difficult because several required paid subscriptions or were no longer available. Other readings had internet ads and videos on the side or embedded in the text, making it difficult to concentrate to read. It would have been much easier if the readings were just PDF files that could be downloaded and read off-line. Other than the difficulty with th readings, the course was excellent.
