I took this class over summer with Nicco A. La Mattina, but the async lectures were from Professor Motter. The class itself is GREAT it was super fun material, the content was managable, and the weekly quizzes were not too difficult. My TA, however, was CRAZY STRICT on the grading for no reason. It's literally a GE introductory class, no way you're handing out C's and D's like they're candy on Halloween. I know I'm a good writer and I have never gotten anything below an A- on any paper I've ever written, but for some reason I failed this one?? I don't know about the other TA's, but mine specifically mentioned she had TA'ed for this class several times and knew the course inside and out, which maybe is why she doing too much for this course and failing essays over nothing. She says its because you need to cite all your sources (which I did) and if you don't, you get an automatic 0, but I guess if you don't cite common sense either you get a 0. I thought she seemed super nice and knowledgable, but honestly taking useless citations so seriously is dtm in my opinion. I honestly just have to take the L on this one because my overall grade wasn't even that bad because the course itself is super straight forward and honestly a lot of fun, but if you got Erika Yagi as your TA....good luck bro ur gonna need it.
