Winter 2024 - I took the Fiat Lux on Racial Discrimination in Housing. The class only met three times and revolved around a single book, "The Color of Law." The professor is super knowledgeable, approachable, and very funny, so the class is entertaining. For grading, I submitted a one-page reflection and presented a short slideshow about the book; the grading was based on completion (it's also mandatory pass/fail). Like most Fiat Lux classes, if you're interested in the topic, the seminar will be amazing.

Winter 2025 - Very light class although the R studio aspect was a struggle at first. My TA was super helpful though which made it totally manageable. As long as you don't wait until the last minute to do the R assignments you'll be fine. Tests were super light, averages very pretty high(around 80%-85% i think). Loya was super engaging and nice, made an effort to connect with students too.
