Spring 2025 - Prof. Potts is a gem. I purposefully look out for her classes, I've taken multiple because she's truly passionate about her work and insanely knowledgeable. It shows in her lectures and teaching style. She is very clear and organized, although the material can be dense at some points. I leave each class feeling like I've learned a ton, and she is very helpful outside of class/in office hours if you need help. That being said, I wouldn't say this class is an easy A, but it is 100% manageable. No assignments other than a weekly quiz that's pass/fail. The grade is based on 2 exams, an 'article analysis', discussion attendance, and quizzes. Take this class, if you do the work you'll leave with an A and a bigger brain.
