Winter 2023 - Prof Streeter is wonderful. She radiates good energy and just has so much to teach us. We use all the books that she requests on the syllabus (plus they are also SUPER interesting), and she grades things throughout the semester. Attendance does matter, she takes it at the beginning of class!!! The workload is not much at all. Just a few papers and a group project. Her lectures are entertaining and don't feel boring/long. She also makes it so that people feel comfortable sharing things with the class. Additionally, she hosts movie nights for the class which are really fun (not mandatory). If you can have a class with her, take it!!! You will learn something. Summary: Workload: Not bad at all. Definitely manageable. Grading: Does not grade much throughout the quarter. Attendance: Matters. Does not record lectures. Textbooks: All except one can be found for free online. Issues: She cannot meet the deadlines she makes for herself. She will say she will have something graded by a certain day and time, and then pushes it back to never. Same for assignment postings, she will say she will post them and delay the posting several times. Honestly though, it isn't a big deal since she compensates by extending the due dates. However, I know some people like to get feedback on assignments or like to plan when to finish assignments (so it can be a hassle if deadlines keep changing.
