Fall 2024 - This class was frustrating at first but ended up okay. Your grade will 100% will depend on your TA. Class consisted of in person lectures monday, async lectures wednesday, and your respective discussion section. Grade was based on 25% section participation, 25% creative project, 25% "Quiz 1", and 25% "Quiz 2 Essay". Section participation was decided upon by your TA- mine did weekly groups in discussion where you would spend a few minutes collecting notes and turned them in- very easy if you show up. Creative project was part creative project and part short essay- easy if you have a kind TA. Quiz #2 ended up being a short essay which was graded by your TA, but quiz 1 was INSANE. It consisted of 5 MCQ and 15 (FIFTEEN) short answer questions where you had to site one of the readings of lectures in each one and provide significant analysis for your answer. This means fifteen 200ish word answers with evidence you had to find on the spot which was extremely time consuming and taxing (took students about 5-6 hours on average) and you essentially had to do it in one sitting. Ended up being a chill class even though that quiz was insane, cool subject but the prof. is definitely a bit extreme with pushing her own material and ideas through the class but it was cool to learn about as a whole.

Fall 2024 - Sweetest class I've ever taken. My TA gave us great discussion topics and reviews of lecture material. They also brought prizes sometimes; it was fun. There was hardly any homework and the final/midterm were projects/reflection essays. This class was perfect to take as a fourth class for me because the workload wasn't crazy and the material was very clear.
