Fall 2021 - Professor Solone made this class engaging and the way she composes her powerpoints will not get you bored (because lecture is 2 hours). The only factor that let me down during this course was the significant impact your TA has on your grade. TAs are really really really harsh when grading your essays and reading summaries that they will not cut you some slack so be prepared. Try to build a bond with your TA or be on their good side, otherwise this class will feel like not only a W2 class but also a MAJOR class.
