Spring 2017 - Professor Vesna is awesome! I really enjoyed this class. She is somewhat unorganized at times but aren't we all? Her lectures are very engaging and are refreshing after taking so many science-heavy classes. The Professor even goes out of her way to bring special guests/introduce you to new avenues of biotech and art. The class was mostly touring different art exhibitions and events but also blogging and writing. The writing isn't too bad and Professor Vesna is very helpful. 10/10 would recommend.
