Opened my eyes to much more than the story of Dracula

Zombies: Something for both the layman and the expert.

As an academic the care and depth of our seminars, incorporation of audio visuals, and conversations throughout the week have been incredible, striking a perfect balance between accessible and graduate level academic quality.

This is a university level course for a minute fraction of the cost! The lectures do an incredible job synthesizing the reading so the student never feels alone.

Dr. Moffett knows his stuff, and has a great sense of humor. 10/10
