    Grade: A

    Drew Fleshman was my TA and I highly recommend taking it with him.

    Quarter Taken: Fall 2023 In-Person
    Grade: A-

    Levitz was an incredible professor; however, my TA was literally absent for most of the quarter (not his fault), so I kinda got screwed into an A-. It is NOT a free class whatsoever, the papers are graded very fairly.
