This was an amazing class! I thought it was going to be difficult, but I feel like I learned something. The TA was very, very helpful as well! He always tried to make himself available for us and tried to help us understand the material. Both of them also gave out extra credit at random moments, so I suggest to attend all discussions. The discussions are helpful as well in understanding what you are reading about. Some lectures, though, were tough to get through. But it was worthwhile in the end. Either way, good class, good professor.

Professor Setiyawan is really great. She understands that almost everyone is taking the class as a GE and does everything she can to help you succeed. The midterm is a take home test (identifications and two essays) and it was super easy. Even if you didn't go to class -- which you should since she's a great lecturer -- you could do well off of the slides alone. The final paper was super easy too, the TA was really great and helped a ton. If you ask for help, you will get it. He even let me incorporate some of his ideas into my paper! The final was an actual joke. They gave us the questions ahead of time and it was the same format as the midterm. If you need a GE, I highly recommend this one. Also, I did not read the textbook. It's good to have and it's really cheap ($15) but you can just use it as a reference.
