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

    I found almost all of the pdfs of all the required texts online, and just used google searches for the ones I could not find. This is an extremely interesting class and Agnew is amazing. He started taking mandatory attendance halfway through the course because the number of students in attendance started to steadily decline.
