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

    Helpful professor and final is optional if you did good on your two midterms.

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

    Slides were pretty dense and the professor's lecturing style isn't the easiest to follow but the exams are decently straight forward and she drops the lowest exam (out of 2 midterms and a final). Theres a fair amount of free points in the class as well. Subject material was pretty boring and run of the mill.
