Fall 2023 - I really feel like Professor Vaughn is very passionate about the topics she teaches, but like the reviews she has for the other clusters, her lectures could be very hard to follow. There was often a lot of just text on the slide or huge pictures with not enough context given. Taking notes was nearly impossible, but it was fine because at least her quiz questions weren't that difficult.
