    Quarter Taken: Fall 2021 Online
    Grade: B+

    The class was online so it was a bit boring because the instructors read off the slides. Homework and midterm were very easy but the final was unexpectedly difficult, causing me and 2 other friends to receive B+ when we were expecting to get A's. Extra credit was offered through a field trip and write-up.
