Reviews

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

    I enjoyed taking this class with Professor Maierhofer. He was very clear from the beginning about his expectations with grading, and there were no surprises. I really enjoyed how he used Kahoot in class because it kept me actively paying attention in class. My TA was also very helpful, and she often would just go through the labs during discussion step-by-step with us. I would recommend attending discussions even though attendance was not mandatory. Overall, I would recommend this class with Mairehofer.
