Briefly describe the class's atmosphere
The class was carried out in a very lifely and light hearted way, due to Prof Hudson's charisma and enthusiasm shown throughout the class. Students were eager to contribute and did not shy away from speaking up in class.

Activity carried out during the class The first part of the class was question and answer which is a great way to evaluate the progress made by the students, and to be aware of the problems faced by the students while they are carrying out their projects. Most students would not have any questions not because they are not thinking but they are on a route of self learning and would prefer to find out the answer for themselves.

However, the professor would reiterate that the question and answer session is purposed to allow students to learn from each other, and to encourage team work and cooperation among the students. This essential since the work environment is always involving people and working in teams.

Describe Professor's attitude and enthusiasm during the class
The professor was very encouraging and understanding of the subjects has actually stimulate the class to have more thinking into the subject matter. At one point when the projector broke down, the Professor Hudson brought the students on a field trip to his studio, where he is working on his new book on anatomy. The students were then exposed to how he works in his studio, and the collection of references he has. At the same he showed the students how he conducts his research and the way he keeps everything organized and retrievable.

I am fortunate enough to get to see his studio as this is an unusual practice among many professors.
