    Quarter Taken: Spring 2024 In-Person
    Grade: A

    The class material wasn't really hard, but professor Burton wasn't a great professor. Her lectures were hard to follow and take notes on, and she wasn't really helpful outside of class. Anytime I would ask a question, the responses would be vague and mostly unhelpful (sometimes even completely wrong).

    I love Burton! She is so enthusiastic about the topics and she really pulls you in during lectures. Conceptually, 7B is much easier than 7A because all the topics pretty much build upon each other. Definitely a class that you need to stay on top of but overall, it's not a difficult class to take if you stay on track. Would definitely recommend doing all the TA worksheets and going to the TA-led office hours.
