Fall 2023 - Professor Torres was great! Even though she is new at teaching, she successfully managed the class well, was open to everyones questions, and was very understanding. The class consisted of a few readings a week necessary for discussion section which was mandatory, a group presentation on a topic you get to choose in the beginning of the course, and a group final paper. Presentations were fun and simple, she brought food and coffee for guests, students, and professors who came to visit and you just needed to present your topic and findings to any guests who came up to your poster. I only had a minimal background in R but was able to manage the class relatively well. If you get a good group for your project then you will do fine.
