  • Unfortunately, I found this course to be meh. 80-90 slides per week did not thrill me paired with the online lectures for an in-person class?? The in-person sessions were "class meets" and felt like a waste of time. The two tests felt like they quizzed very specific and almost irrelevant parts of the course versus major themes. The written assignments are easy to do well on but the tests, no. I did really enjoy the professor though so that would be the positive!
