    overrall interesting class- just make sure to study the slides and textbook for the tests instead of just the lecture notes even if she says everything is just on the lecture notes.

    The content in Professor Kicenski's lectures were interesting, and her slides were well organized. There were readings each week that you could get by without reading, but they were pretty engaging and helped facilitate discussion during class. There is a paper that we write as we do a small experiment, but it's not too bad and is pretty interesting to evaluate and look back on. Overall, I'd take this class again!
