    Quarter Taken: Summer 2023 Online
    Grade: B+

    I took this course over the summer, therefore, my perspective on it may be very different. This class was definitely a lot during the summer. 10+ hours worth of lectures wasnt fun.

    Quarter Taken: Summer 2023 Online
    Grade: A-

    Super chill class and an easy GE. Despite it being asynchronous, the online class discussions were mandatory but they were definitely helpful to go to because it helped me understand the material better. There were two essays but you're pretty much writing about yourself and how some of the stuff you learn in class applies to you.
