Spring 2023 - This class was supposed to be fun, but it was nightmare from the jump. Boring lectures. TA was miserable, graded the midterm harsh, and the professor was even worse for the final, I felt her feedback was condescending rather than helpful. I went to office hours a lot which helped me do well overall, but I wouldn't recommend anyone take this class with her. Not like she's teaching anymore since she's retiring. But that's my take on the course. I got an A.
