  • This is an amazing class, I recommend taking it. The assignments were straightforward: one quiz, a midterm, an exam, and a paper. These are assessments that are super easy to study for as the course is based around pictures and explanation, get yourself a good set of Q-cards are you are all set to succeed. Craig Hardimann is also one of the most engaging professors I have ever had, and I recommend everyone to at least check out this course or his others.

  • Read the textbook! Very fun content, but watch out for multiples of things (ie columns, arches, etc) and practice writing succinctly. Otherwise, a very good course !
