Spring 2025 - honestly lectures are sleepy but they're recorded, tho sometimes random extra credit opportunities are thrown in live. discussions are basically mandatory a certain number of times (form a group with other ppl, and at least 2 must be present per disc, and each person has a minimum number they must attend.) labs are fine, support online. midterm was snork mimimi ez but i personally found the final pretty difficult. curved at the end. batista is supportive and responsive to students

Spring 2025 - batista was certainly a good professor, and i generally enjoyed this class. this is a really involved class, with mandatory discussions (you have to form groups of 4-5 and every week at least 2 of you must go which is annoying), weekly homework, and some extra credit quizzes. the extra credit quizzes are only announced in class so if this is something you care about i'd go, she also explains things in pretty good detail in class. the midterm was pretty chill (mean 75) but the final was HARD. i think towards the end of the class the topics get more complicated and i think the homeworks are not the best at helping understand those, so it was a really confusing exam. in the end, she does curve, and batista genuinely really cares about her students
