Fall 2025 - This is a great, easy class applicable to the real world. You can tell the professor and TAs are passionate about the material. We had weekly problems sets during our discussion section and a final, which are completely doable. My TA was Zackary Ortega and he was hands down the best TA I've ever had. He explained the material in a digestible format and was patient and relatable with the students. He's easy to talk to and get help from, so do not be intimidated. His office hours are really helpful too, and he's super flexible if you have any time conflicts or personal accommodations.

Summer 2019 - Worst professor I've ever had. The class was 60% reading responses, 35% final paper, and 5% participation. Reading responses are graded either Outstanding, Satisfactory, or Unsatisfactory. You can get all Satisfactory, for example, but you you won't know what your grade is in the class. At the end of the term, depending on what he wants your final grade in the class to be, he'll decide a numerical (or letter) grade for your final paper, reading responses, and participation. His grading is basically very arbitrary. He also offers 0 help over email or during office hours. Makes you feel stupid for asking questions. I'd stay away honestly.
