    Quarter Taken: Spring 2022 In-Person
    Grade: A+

    Sometimes the professor can be hard to understand and the lectures hard to follow. Your grade will largely depend on your TA though. I had a wonderful TA who was very considerate and graded leniently so I ended up with an A+. I enjoyed learning gender studies but the readings can feel a lot to you if you're not interested in gender studies.
