Fall 2022 - Super interesting class. Petigura is clearly very knowledgeable about the topics covered, and does a pretty decent job teaching the content. I would highly recommend this class for any incoming freshmen, especially if you are a humanities major and want to get your science GEs out of the way. The only tricky thing about the class is the quizzes, but if you pay attention in lecture and study a bit for them every two weeks you should do well.
