    Quarter Taken: Spring 2023 In-Person
    Grade: B+

    Take this class at your own risk. Professor Blend is very unclear with his expectations for students' projects. He keeps reiterating that as long as we do our work we will get an A, making it sound like the class is an easy A. However, despite putting in all the work and exceeding expectations, my group got a much lower grade than expected. The professor did not give any reasoning at all for the final grades he assigned. There is no grading scheme or rubric for the class, it's completely arbitrary. It felt as if the professor used a random number generator to assign final grades. Although working in a group to launch a product was a pretty valuable experience with good resume value, taking this class with Blend is a risk if you care about your GPA.
