Winter 2022 - I agree with the most recent reviews. The reviews from previous quarters were super misleading. I came into this class thinking that the prof would be super understanding and that the content wouldn't be hard to grasp but it ended up being the opposite. Her emails would sound more like threats at times LMAO, and the lectures were extremely boring. By the final weeks of classes, less than 40 people showed up to lecture. The tests were also hard for no reason. We had to use Respondus, and the final was a 3-hour 80-question test, which I think is way too much for a GE. Plus, the questions were HELLA specific and the final was cumulative so if you didn't know every detail from all 10 weeks, you would fail guaranteed. We had assigned quizzes each week, and sometimes there were questions on there that wasn't ever addressed in the lecture, so I'd end up guessing the answers. The only good thing about this class was that my TA Francis was cool, and the labs were easy. But I honestly wouldn't recommend this class, at least if you're looking for an easy and interesting GE with a good prof.
