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

    This class was a very easy writing II class. Professor was a little disorganized with the lecture slides, but tbh I hardly attended lecture (not recorded) and I got a decent idea of the material still. Professor was understanding but my TA was also a very easy grader, which was lucky. (I think the essay grades are very heavily dependent on your TA). Professor offered a lot of extra credit, and final was also no harm, which was good for me.
