Spring 2022 - Easy GE! Professor was nice, but content was not very interesting. Lectures: Professor uses slides during lecture. Attendance is mandatory and is checked through a google form link that is posted through a QR link in the lecture slides. Lecture content was pretty boring. Discussion: Attendance is also mandatory for discussion and is checked in the same way (through a google form link and QR code on the slides). TA Rachel Scott was very caring and helped keep the material actually engaging. Homework: There is weekly individual homework that consists of questions from the textbook. Very easy and took maybe 10-15 minutes to complete each assignment. Paper: Since there are no exams, the biggest assignment is the group paper on a topic of your choice. The paper is supposed to be a bit long, and my group members waited until last-minute to complete their parts of the paper, so it was all a bit disorganized and stressful. There are a few group homework assignments leading up to the paper, which are fairly short.
