Fall 2024 - Run don't walk because this class is honestly more difficult than expected. Although the workload is light (1 quiz per week, 2 dropped and making up 96% of you grade, last 2% is from section and 2% from speaking with Prof), some of the quizzes were written by Satan. The quizzes are written by different TA's for each week so the question difficulty will vary greatly. Some of the quizzes will have multiple questions with select all that apply, which really hurts your score. Also the slides were really difficult to follow if you weren't in lecture since a lot of the text is overlapped. If you want absolutely 0 work outside of weekly quizzes that your life depends on, take this class.

Winter 2024 - I loved the professor, but he was a bit hard to understand at times. He is really passionate about the class, which is refreshing. I thought that the papers were graded decently and there were strict instruction to follow - I was literally given a blueprint and told to follow it. Make sure to attend TA office hours to review your papers - it will help you write what they are looking for. The entire class is graded on your midterm (40%) and final (50%) papers which sounds scary - but go to office hours.
