Fall 2025 - Professor Waugh is super helpful! The class has two "routes" you can take, with either a 12-page essay written over the course of the quarter or exams that are take-home. I took the paper route, and Professor Waugh encouraged us to reach out for help with our thesis and anything if we needed help to write it. The class is easy to keep up with, and the topics are very interesting. I am considering taking it again with a different topic :)

Winter 2017 - Review for M E St M50B!!!!! Donald is such a nice person! He is very clear about his background and his expectations, and you can tell he really loved what he was teaching! The lectures themselves are easy to listen to and at times are a bit boring. He uses slides that contain all the info you need and posts them on CCLE, so if you miss a class, its no big deal! The midterm and final were really easy (As on both) and he posted a study guide for each but the paper was a little more difficult. We had to write a 7-8 page research paper and for someone who isn't particularly amazing at writing, that proved to be the most challenging part of the class. The key is to start early! Overall, I would highly recommend, especially if you find this stuff interesting!!
