I really loved this class. It was hard at times, but you can tell she puts a lot of work into her lectures to make everything as understandable as possible. There's 6 assignments total; 2 are really small, just reflecting on a presentation you just saw, but 4 require a pretty in-depth understanding of the research and everything she talks about in lecture (nothing you can just google). She's really helpful, and in my experience always has really good answers for the questions you ask.

Professor Fluitt is a wonderful teacher. Even though the class can be very open-ended and at times difficult, she is always willing to guide you through your thought process and thoroughly answer any questions. Lectures always took interesting turns, and the focus was always on discovery and building connections with other classes or lectures rather than plowing through material. All in all, she led a very collaborative learning environment. I gained a deep appreciation for the research process through this class. She gives multiple avenues for participation which shouldn't be too hard if you engage in and/or out of the class (which you should to make the most out of the class!). psst: She also cute pet cats if you go to office hours!
