Fall 2022 - Prof Nonacs is a good guy and this was an interesting class, but I have never been more convinced of the pointlessness of a fiat lux. Two hours is a very long time to pay attention for, especially when the slides don't match with what the prof is saying and there's no incentive to do well. All this made it very easy to zone out, and because the lecture was so hard to follow, I couldn't get back on track when I snapped back to reality. Maybe there are better profs to take a fiat lux with, but I would much rather take a fourth class than attempt to find out who those profs are.
