Reviews

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

    The lectures were in-person with iClicker. There were no midterms or final exams --- just a final research paper that was worked on throughout the quarter. The workload was very light, and just consisted of occasional readings, quizzes, and reading guide responses. Overall, a very light but interesting course!
