Spring 2025 - I have never felt the need to write a review until I took this class. Professor Anderson is quite hard to work with, both from student and TA perspective. She is very rigid and is unwilling to comply to outside factors that can impact a student's focus and school engagement. Understandably, she is against A.I. (which I had no qualms with), but the fact that she teaches about mental health and has so empathy or sympathy is crazy to me. I had a lot of personal things going on while taking the class and she did not care at all. Her class is structured with mandatory discussion sections, one Persuall assignment due on Wednesday's, and on Thursday's you submit a discussion post and take a quiz. YOU HAVE TO DOWNLOAD A LOCKDOWN BROWSER FOR THIS CLASS. This wasn't a deal breaker for me but it is crucial information for some. Also she uses Google Docs and needs you to include it in a specific spot or else you just loose credit, even if the work was 100% yours or if it was submitted in a different spot. If you want to do well in this class, know every material front and back as if you were the author. It's bad when the TA's think the way she operates, makes decisions, and grades is literally robotic. The course material is very interesting but genuinely just find a similar class or different professor if the subject matter interests you. Save yourself the hassle and protect your peace. I really enjoyed the course if it wasn't for how the professor is dismissive of her students and the efforts they put in, especially if it is their first time taking a class in this department with no prior knowledge of the subject matter. It makes students not want to try and/or exploring the material further.
