Most Helpful Review
Fall 2025 - I really enjoyed this class. Professor Schlinger was one of four professors, and he was definitely one of the better ones. The workload is very light; there are readings before every lecture, two papers per quarter, and three quizzes per quarter (you can drop one). The lectures are very engaging, and you can tell that the professor really loves what he does. The slides are posted on BruinLearn after every class, so if you miss a lecture or want to review for quizzes, you can. Overall, I highly recommend taking this class; it's an easy way to knock out a bunch of GEs.
