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

    The lectures are long but actually go by pretty fast because the professor shows a documentary for the second half of the class. Attendance is mandatory and you have to sign an attendance sheet each lecture. The professor provides a study guide for both the midterm and final that tells you everything you need to know/focus on which was incredibly helpful. The final is much easier than the midterm
