  • Had Siobhan in Spring 2024 - three MC tests and one essay. I heard in the previous term that the essay must be completed in pairs so I was glad to hear we could complete it individually or in pairs when I took the class. There is a lot of information to remember in this class, really relies on your ability to memorize content.

  • I was slightly disappointed based on how much the content seemed like a long list of content to memorize, at least for the first part, but eventually with the guest speakers and the opportunity to learn about grad school both during lecture and 1:1 talks and the format of assignment which was challenging this became a useful course. I hope the speakers' presentation style improves in the future.

  • Dr. Seeds is a wonderful teacher and really makes a lot of effort to ensure you're getting the most out of the course. She brings in relevant guest speakers and offers incredibly extensive feedback on your term paper. However, her tests do have a lot of overly specific, memorization based questions.
