    Quarter Taken: Spring 2023 In-Person
    Grade: A-

    Professor Gammell is great!! I tried to sit in for all the lectures that I could and I learned a little something about architecture each lecture. Her class definitely placed more emphasis on analysis and making connections across material rather than rote memorization, which I appreciated. I lowk got screwed over though because I didn't participate in discussion the first few weeks (and I swear we weren't told by our TAs that we'd get points for speaking each dis but whatever) and turned in a few assignments late, but definitely possible to get the grade you want in this class. Fun and interesting class (with a hot prof), def recommend!
