- **2020-04** — The course is very interesting and informative. Professor Salti did not use a coursebook approach, but rather immersed us with readings from different sources, tackling the multi-dimensional aspects of development.

- **2019-08** — Salti is one of the best in the department and you can learn a lot from her. Workload wise , expect an assignment every week or two weeks and the assignments are time consuming. With moderate work, you can get good grades though
