Professor

Most Helpful Review
Fall 2024 - Overall Review: Amazing professor. Low effort; high reward class. This is what all GE's should look like. It was fun and never stressed me out. Lecture: Once a week, "mandatory" but the exit tickets posted after class is how she takes attendance (two are dropped). Exit tickets are P/NP, just relate it back to the lecture content and you'll pass. Discussion: Long discussion but you use every second of the class time and there are "case studies" which is essentially just a poster about the case you read about (typically a short reading thats interesting). Three in total, the first two are P/NP and the third is graded. You work in a group with a few other students but its the same students every week which made it fun because everyone started to become friends. Tests: No midterm but there is a final which is composed of four mini essays (350 words). Unlimited cheat sheet, compose as much information you think you'll need to write a strong paper. Readings: No required textbook, she provides all the readings. Usually one short reading a week that is "required", I rarely read anything unless it related to the case study (makes the case study easier and faster).
