Fall 2022 - To be honest, I don't like this class. Professor Haselton and Professor Scelza's lectures were my favorite but I was super confused by pretty much everything Professor Gallagher and Professor Schlinger said. I liked Professor Stroessner and could tell he tried to keep things organized but with so many professors and different subjects, I think that is hard. The lectures didn't connect and it was always hard to tell what would be on the quizzes. My TA never communicated what was expected of us, specifically on the papers, but I heard other TAs were great so it really depends. If it weren't for the TA strike, I wouldn't have an A so next quarter will be hard for me if I end up with the same TA. I don't recommend unless you are super passionate about the subjects.
