    Quarter Taken: Fall 2023 In-Person
    Grade: A

    I would recommend taking this class. At each class, we did a short iClicker quiz based on the readings for that day. The readings were not short, but they weren’t difficult to read. The iClicker tests were easy if you read the article. He records the lectures and posts them on Canvas, and the slides he uses each week are available to download before and after class. There are 3 exams, all of which are the same format, which is short written answers. To be successful, I would recommend really studying the exam questions suggested by the class. There is also a short group project where you have to edit a small section of the syllabus, which I found surprisingly easy. Lastly, a portion of your grade is made up of small projects you complete, but they are very straightforward and doable. Overall, you do have to put some work in, but as long as you do what is outlined in the syllabus, you should be able to get an A.
