| The course is unconventional but an amazing experience of personal reflection. I will never think of the garden the same way again!! |
| this is a fun and unique course. Professor Kincaid is not like any other professor here and is so knowledgeable and amazing to hear talk. This class is just a lot of thinking out loud, and is very loose and unstructured |
| It is amazing. |
| If you would like to learn differently, to talk and ponder and think hard, creatively, this course is for you. If you like organization, very concrete paper prompts, and a very argument–based classroom, this course is not for you (but maybe you should take it, anyways.) |
| This is an amazing class for anyone who has an interest in any of the humanities, and who delve into exploring how the garden can reach into these diverse fields. If you're someone who would like to have a great professor at Harvard, this is also an excellent class to develop a connection with someone extremely knowledgeable, kind, eccentric and intelligent. |
| This course had made me more curious about almost everything in life; in a good way! It is not your average "Do the readings and we'll talk about them in class," but rather "do the readings and use them as a launchpad to more critical thinking" |
