Winter 2024 - I took this course in Winter24 and I really enjoyed Professor Rith-Najarian's teaching style. She was always engaging and encouraging to students and wanted all of us to understand and properly learn the material. Participation is definitely important for your grade but there are plenty of opportunities to engage and share ideas with the Professor and other peers. I went to her office hours several times and she provided guidance with the homework and also professional advice for grad school which was really helpful for me. The homework worksheets are helpful for the research process and I liked that her process was different than other research processes I have studied before. Grades for these worksheets are very important and the final was open note with a study guide. Overall, I would take another class with her and I really liked how she made a class about research engaging yet informative at the same time.

Fall 2024 - Okay so I had some personal and medical issues going on this quarter and I still managed to pass with a B- as longest you do the work and pass the exams you should be fine. Her lectures are super interesting, informative, and the professor is very engaged in her work. For context, the mean for the midterm was around a 75% (34/45) and the mean for the final was around an 80% (72/90) based off canvas. You also get a 5% bonus if you attend 15 lectures or more out of 19.
