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

    Monti is GOAT. The class is really interesting, useful, yet very easy. It feels like a more in-depth Psych 85. Discussion sections are not so helpful as Monti clearly goes over materials during lectures. Recordings are provided so I never went to class in person. Exams are pretty easy and group presentations are graded leniently (my group got full marks).

    This was a very interesting and great class to take. The group project isn't too difficult. I would recommend doing the extra credit for that free cushion. The extra credit is through SONA.
