Fall 2024 - took this as my freshman year cluster. it's a really interesting class but extremely disorganized, i guess since it's taught by multiple professors. lectures are fast-paced, sometimes unclear and incoherent, and instructions for assignments often needed clarification. ill-prepared during quizzes and exams; they'd never have enough papers, scantrons, etc. nonetheless, i still thought it was fun, it was just hard to study for it since you didn't know what to study for to begin with since it was so unorganized
