Fall 2024 - While Dr. Vaughn is only one part of the M72 cluster, I dreaded her lectures the most. Her content seemed disorganized and hard to follow, and don't even get me started on her slides. They were a jumble of text, pictures, and concepts. Each slide seemed to be about a completely different topic than the previous one. She also assigned way too many readings that seemed to not help at all in lecture, on the essays, or quizzes. Her quiz questions were never hard, as long as you paid attention, but if she was the only professor, this cluster would be unbearable. She doesn't introduce any interesting or revolutionary ideas, just rehashes past societal concepts that make you think "duh". I love this cluster, but Vaughn is my least favorite professor out of the team.
