Spring 2020 - I would highly recommend taking any course offered by Professor Carruth. She is extremely organized and delivers engaging lectures each week; she cares deeply about student wellbeing; and she assigned a wide variety of readings, which kept the course interesting over the quarter. Moreover, her grading is fair (even generous) and the workload is not too bad. I would take this course again in a heartbeat.
