Spring 2021 - OH MY GOD take this class. Brilliant discourse, and Dr. Villasenor does a fantastic job at presenting his content and his opinions. He's in public policy as well as engineering, and this class is a beautiful marriage of the two. I learned a lot and loved engaging with the content. Discussions were alas required and super not engaging on the flip side, but the lecture content was enough to make up for this (overall, I give the class 4/5). There was also a writing assignment at the end which was a bore for people with writing experience. Piece of cake, but boring nonetheless. Despite that, this is one of my most memorable college classes. hella take it. it's easy, 2 units, and a great change of pace from all the harder STEM you have to do in engineering. :)
