Winter 2020 - Professor Tran was not engaging whatsoever. Her slides were just paragraphs copied and pasted from the internet and she literally just reads directly off it. The class was not organized and neither were discussion sections. Don't even get me started with discussion sections. The lack of care/ attentiveness from my TA , June, was honestly so sad. My whole section emailed June about grades and no one, and I mean not even 1 person, received a response back. Grades were NEVER entered in. Literally no one had any idea of how they were doing in the class. I am extremely unsatisfied with what I received in this class given how much work I put into a GE. Like... a GE. Professor changed the grading scheme and the syllabus like 4 times. Basically, we had 2 midterm quizzes (which were apparently meant to be extremely easy-- all those questions were trick questions, don't let the TA's fool you) and our final paper was scrapped and instead we had a Discussion section group project that we had to present during the last week of classes. Thanks to COVID-19, half the sections did not get a chance to present and had to present through Zoom. TLDR; Don't take this class. And if you have no choice and are stuck with this as a GE, take it for P/NP and pray you don't get June as a TA. I must say though, class was pretty interesting and I learned some new things, but this class made me start smoking again.
