Spring 2020 - Took this class in Spring 2020 so it was online :(. Nonetheless the class was super duper engaging and fun, it was the only class that I got to meet new people through Zoom since you interact with your classmates a lot! I had a wonderful TA, Amy, and my discussion session bonded very well!
