Spring 2023 - This class had by far the most manageable workload I've had in my four years. We had 1 art project and 3 homework assignments. The assignments each take a couple hours at most and she drops the lowest one. The project is full credit/no credit and quite easy to receive full credit. The lecture material is somewhat difficult and hard to follow, but Treude is exceptionally nice and helpful. The exams were more on the difficult side but not insane.
