Quarter: Fall 2020
Grade: A

Professor Aiello is an extremely nice person, and I genuinely enjoyed the course material, but her teaching format made this class much more miserable than it was worth. Her emphasis was on collaborative learning and group work in the place of traditional slide lectures. For material that is new to most students, THIS DOESN'T WORK. Most group sessions ended up with everyone being clueless as to what was going on. This class needs more regular lectures to introduce the new material, and maybe the whole group work stuff during the discussions.

The professor also went MIA halfway throughout the quarter and reappeared sometime around week 10, so this class was much more stressful than it should have been. I get that circumstances can change quickly sometimes, but the lack of communication and an overall "winging it" attitude for this course made it far too difficult to know what was going on.

The tests are pretty easy as long as you pay attention to the lectures, and the homework, despite having a few painful questions, isn't particularly time consuming

To be fair, that was probably a bad quarter because of covid, so if this material actually seems interesting to you, I think it is worth taking for sure
