Fall 2024 - Paula is so boring. The Group Projects suck but I think that was because my group sucked. She takes attendance which sucks because this class was so boring, but definitely not conceptually hard or anything. Midterm and Final were both take home quizzes on BruinLearn so they were super easy.
