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

    The grading was so lenient, and professor Laski really cared about his students and came prepared for each lecture he taught.

    Grade: A

    Heavily based off of discussion worksheets and practice midterms

    A pretty easy class. Though not recommended, if you can do the practice exams there's no need to study more for the actual exams

    This class was more difficult than I was initially expecting. The first third or so of the class was taught by Laski, and the material was fairly simple to grasp. I did have a much more difficult time with Cohn's portion of the class, however both professors were really nice and accommodating to the class's needs.
