Spring 2020 - Professor Traweek was extremely clear about her expectations for our assignments and encouraged us to ask her clarifying questions. She was also happy to read over our work and give feedback! The lectures were more focused on themes than specific topics, and the readings could be long, but she really emphasized effort and improvement! 10 pages over a course of ten weeks (1 page of Analytical Reviews per week), no exams or papers.
