Spring 2024 - Prof MacDonald was very engaging and passionate despite video length given my course's asynchronous format (not preferred if you have the option to be in front of this top notch professor). Weekly 10-point TIMED quizzes were the vast majority of grade which I found surprisingly tricky in some cases (fill in blank, multi word fill in sentence). Quizzes were based on key learnings in slides and a multitude of examples provided in lectures so pay close attention. The timed final was based on cumulative and similar to quizzes but longer. My biggest complaint was that Prof MacDonald did not always share quiz result specifics so I did not know what I got right or wrong which was especially frustrating going into the final. I also never got a response to my email requesting results to quiz results which all my other UCLA classes provided.
