Reviews
Professor Frye was clearly very passionate about the material and enjoyed what he was teaching which made the class much more enjoyable. The lecture slides were short and most helpful if you annotated them as you went. He provided audio recordings of lecture. There were assigned readings each week, one research paper each, and then a short one page response due at the end of the week. The exams were all free response but very fair and entirely based on what was discussed in lecture.
