Spring 2023 - A lot has changed since she taught this class in previous quarters. There is a midterm and final you have to take, but they were very manageable. The midterm was short answers and as long as you go over the PowerPoint slides and study you will be ok. The final was a 3-5 page reflection paper about what you learned in the class. The BULK of your grade is participation in discussion and in lectures (random check-ins that you have to do in class if you want credit).
