Fall 2023 - I LOVE TINA. This class was structured so that Jean Luc Margot was the professor for the first half of the quarter and Truede took over after the midterm. I found Treude's sections to be much more interesting than Jean Luc's, and the homework was also way clearer. Jean Luc often put random stuff on his slides that had nothing to do with the homework, but Treude's homework assignments basically all came directly from her slides. You don't need to go to lecture to succeed in this class, but I would still recommend as the lectures can be interesting. They also gave a very generous Extra Credit assignment worth 9.1% of our grade which I thought was extremely nice. LOVEEEE

Spring 2025 - Honestly I didn't really enjoy the content, but it was an easy A. Professor Treude is definitely not the most engaging lecturer, but she is nice. The grading for this class has changed since the last time the class was offered. The extra credit is now 10% and apart of your grade if you decide to do it (takes 2.5% off the other categories). This makes every other category worth 22.5%, which you should be able to max out except for maybe the lab final. This class definitely has a lot of content and realistically should be split into two if you account for lecture content. The midterm and final are both tested on lecture content, but are super easy because they are open note and done asynchronously (recommend using the summary/last slide of each slide deck). The lab final (only exam that is in-person) is only tested on lab content (readings + worksheets) which doesn't make it too bad, but there are definitely a lot of concepts to remember (just take notes on the readings and do the worksheets to do well). Don't feel worried if you don't know anything by week 9, the lab final is curved anyways and you can easily cram it a couple days before. Other than that, I definitely recommend for a GPA booster.

Spring 2023 - This class had by far the most manageable workload I've had in my four years. We had 1 art project and 3 homework assignments. The assignments each take a couple hours at most and she drops the lowest one. The project is full credit/no credit and quite easy to receive full credit. The lecture material is somewhat difficult and hard to follow, but Treude is exceptionally nice and helpful. The exams were more on the difficult side but not insane.
