Fall 2020 - You GOTTA take this class. Not only is Dr. Redmond an amazing lecturer and professor, the work load is super, super manageable. The TAs are also super chill, I had Candace who was really awesome and funny. The only difficult part was one writing assignment toward the middle of the term but the final was a super easy group project. Would take this class a million times over.
