    Quarter Taken: Winter 2022 In-Person
    Grade: N/A

    - Lecture content was interesting, and there are a lot of simple, intuitive things that helped making studying easier
    - the instructor repeatedly uploaded the lecture videos and slides late
    - there are no other assignments other than two participation discussion posts for every lecture in the first half of the quarter, then after the midterm you start the group project.

    Quarter Taken: Fall 2022 In-Person
    Grade: A

    I was really excited to take this class since UX is a field that I was interested in but a lot of the material was pretty common sense and you could teach yourself on your own really. Dr. F also completely dipped on us week 5 with no warning and the class was left hanging until the online final. I don't think this class was bad or hard at all but if you're really looking to learn something new then probably choose a different class. Most of the material is very logical and you don't necessarily need anyone to "teach" it to you.
