Reviews
The class discusses interesting concepts, especially if you are interested in evolutionary theories and stuff. My TA was helpful, and the grading was fair. The only thing is that there's only audio recording for the lecture, which has bad quality sometimes and might take you hours to listen to if you miss a class.
