Spring 2020 - I tend to always get stuck with terribly difficult GE classes, however, this class was very easy and fun. Professor Catlin truly wants to get to know all her students and is very understanding. There is a lot of reading and listening related to the class, but I did none of it and studied with the study guide provided before the midterm and final and still scored high. The grade is comprised of the midterm, final, and an essay. The TA's are so helpful and genuine (shout out to Mukesh). Definitely recommend if you are looking for an easy GE that will not bore you and doesn't require a crazy amount of work.
