Winter 2021 - This is probably an age-old story, but the professor is a nice person who makes life hell as the teacher of this class. Her grading is completely subjective and is probably dependent on her day to day mood. Her grading scale started as not good, good, excellent and eventually devolved into very good but not excellent, ok, and a bunch of other subgrades that never really made any sense with the amount of feedback given This class is not hard content, but the lab reports are miserable because she is extremely picky and inconsistent with the criteria. ALSO, she likes to do this thing where she discusses the grade for each lab report in front of the entire class, so if you screw up, she will likely roast your entire group in a public forum. Even if you do well, she might find something to pick on and roast you for that as well. The material itself is boring but it's not too big of a deal. Clear out your day for the lab reports because that will be a massive time sink in this class
