Winter 2026 - This class was pretty easy, especially considering how much extra credit we can get by going to see murals around L.A., which is really nice if you don't score the best on the quizzes/midterm/final. There are weekly discussion posts, and there is about 3-4 quizzes, a midterm, and a final. Even though our quizzes were taken in class, we didn't have to be there and we could take it from anywhere since it was on canvas, and we also took our midterm and final exam online and did not have to be there either which was really nice. Her grading scheme is a little all over the place, but overall a super easy class considering the generous amount of extra credit we get. Would take again.
