Fall 2025 - I really enjoyed this class. Professor Haselton was one of four professors, and she was by far my favorite. 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 she 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.
