This course is so so boring and is literally just the professors opinions about things. Everyone in the class was a tryhard who though waaayyyy too much about this. The projects were boring and pointless, and kinda force you to think in only one way. I was taught by Barbara Schmenk, and we beefed the whole time. She's way over opinionated and honestly spent most of our class time telling us how much she hates Canada. 10/10 boring, 10/10 do not reccomend. Next time I see Barbara teching a class, I am RUNNING in the other direction.
