    Quarter Taken: Spring 2023 In-Person
    Grade: A

    I honestly don't remember that much about this class. I enjoyed the professor and thought lectures were well put together. We had very cohesive sections that involved a group presentation on the scientific papers we had to read and then we would go over lecture material. Overall a chill class that didn't have too much course work.

    pretty easy class. a bit of memorization, but overall not too difficult as long as you review the slides and study before tests
