You can tell Dr. Hugo cares about her students. Too many slides. I think more time could be dedicated to group work and also reviewing materials for the exams. She said not to worry so much about the exams but some of the questions on them didn't line up with some of the things she talked about (or the slides that were presented).

Great course with simple content. Textbook readings are 'required' but really not necessary for doing well. Lectures are mandatory but flexible if you have a valid reason. She engages with the class and goes beyond just reading slides, which is nice! You can tell she cares about teaching, and the material is relatively easy to understand.
