Awesome

Prof. Deirdre is one of the best professors I've ever had. This wasn't an easy A, but work will be rewarded. It is a genuinely interesting course and I actually learned a lot. He is very fair, approachable, and he makes the course relatable.

Awesome

Professor Benjamin provides lots of homework every week. There were many readings, 300-word writing, and 200 words of peer replying, plus a quiz. There are no excuses. However, if you can handle the work, it's not difficult to get a high grade. The midterm and final exam questions are given in advance. So, you'll have plenty of time to prepare. Not an easy A class for me, but I learned a lot.
