Winter 2022 - Mark Tramo is definitely a character. This class was a joke in the sense that he spends most of the time rambling on with the whole class with their cameras on not understanding a single word what he's saying. You'd think it'd be an interesting class with learning more about the auditory system but it just ends up being a mess of a class with the professor keeping a loose account of grades. Grades are broken down by participation, a take home final exam, a group presentation, and writing down what he exactly says and attempt to make it into a research paper. All of these assignments you pretty much get credit as long as you put in some sort of effort into them but honestly 75% of the time I had no idea what was going on the class and still got an A. Overall, Tramo is a boring/disorganized lecturer but if you need an easy A for your electives and can endure taking 3 hours out of your day once a week then go for it.
