    This class was incredibly interesting! The coursework is pretty light and not super hard. You do need to attend lectures though because she doe not post any notes.

    Really good class. The TA are what make the class such a good class. Professor is okay.

    I found lectures to be very interesting, but my biggest takeaway from this class was that the tests were very unfair and felt like they evaluated you not on your understanding of the concepts but on whether or not you knew every detail of every lecture.
