Spring 2022 - Although the class itself isn’t horrible, the grading scheme is. The midterm is worth 40% of your grade as well as the final. I only took this class for my major and I would not take it again. The tests were very specific to the textbook and overall was too hard for what it should be. The professor was not bad but should take into consideration changing the grading scheme or even offering extra credit.

Fall 2023 - I would not take this class again. The content was interesting but there are such few assignments (no extra credit) that if you get a B or lower on midterm 1 your fate is sealed. I barely skimped out an A- barely! This class ended up being more stressful than my other classes and I am a STEM major. He needs to learn to either put more assignments or curve, not an easy A class if you have more than 3 classes to take a quarter. TONS of reading
