Fall 2025 - HIGHLY RECOMMEND TAKING THIS CLASS FOR A GE!!! I took this class because I needed to fulfill a GE but honestly would take again and would take more classes with the prof. Super engaging and interesting course material. Attendance isn't required, but she doesn't record her lectures or post her slides, so if you don't go to lecture, you have to get someone to send you notes. Attendance for discussion is mandatory, but you get to miss a couple if you participate at least twice in every other one. Grading is 3 midterms, but she only takes the best 2. I thought they were pretty easy if you pay attention in lecture and look at the practice questions that the TAs post. And then the final, which I also thought was fairly easy, she gave us all the questions beforehand. Highly recommend for an easy GE.
