I took this class as a GE and wasn't expecting much, but I ended up really enjoying this class and I actually felt like I had learned something. Prof. Yildiz is by far the nicest and most accommodating professor that I've ever had. Lectures are basically mandatory because there are 2 iClicker quizzes every class but Prof. Yildiz is very engaging and I really did enjoy coming to lecture. There are no essays due for this class, just a midterm and final, the aforementioned quizzes, and participation in discussion. She assigns a very fair amount of readings and the exams were also very fair. I would definitely recommend this class to anyone who has the opportunity to take it.
