Fall 2025 - This was probably the most "easy" catfished class I've ever taken. The professor was very off-topic the majority of the time, yapping about Yap, trying to relate it to the topics at hand, but would end up rambling about his time there. After the first few lectures, he just so happened to mention that some of the stuff relating to what he talked about in Yap would be somewhat relevant to the midterm and was never clear as to what specifically. He also said the slides he reads from would be important to mark down, slides he'd be going through at 100 mph and not even let some of us finish due to shortness of time. Time he'd waste yapping about Yap. He didn't post his slides OR record his lectures, which made it much more difficult and made it clear that in order to retrieve any information we missed, we'd have to go to him personally and review his slides. He had one midterm, 2 papers, and one final. He'd produce us a study guide for both exams, but simply a list of topics that we'd have to review from the notes taken by ourselves. The papers were pretty unorganized in terms of what they'd ask for and were never specific. When asking TAs for examples, they were very stingy in letting us read any past papers or a simple paragraph example. I'm sure no one would've been dumb enough to simply copy off an already used paper. Overall, I feel like for a typically "easy" class, this was unnecessarily overcomplicated.
