Spring 2024 - I really enjoyed Professor Perez-Montesinos's class. His lectures were very engaging and well-organized. Both the readings (and he gave pdfs of everything, we did not have to purchase anything) and the assignment load were very manageable. It was one discussion post a week where you would summarize the big ideas of the readings and pose a question. Both the final and the midterm were take-home assignments. He also offered a few extra credit assignments. In addition, Professor Perez-Montesino really cared about his students and wanted to see them succeed. Especially with all the uncertainty this quarter, he always listened to students and did his best not only to keep us informed but also to make sure that we could continue to learn and do well in the class with everything going on.
