Winter 2026 - This is such an easy class! She's an amazing professor and is so helpful. I recommend this class to any major looking to take an "easy" upper-division course. There were no exams or essays in the class. The final was a group project, which was easy. We only had two low-stakes quizzes, each with five questions. To study, you just needed to do the episode notes, which are homework assignments.
