The pre-lecture videos were really helpful! He covers so much material in this class but it was structured in a way that made it really easy to learn. He's a very relatable professor that cares about his students.Rate My Professors ↗
If he mentions politics in class (live class OR pre-recorded videos) once more, I'll lose it. Plus, he said "I'm gonna bring up current events in this class bc I don't think people think critically enough," but he says exactly what the big media says, w/ no explanations. In the online class, u put in more time than usual bc vids+2days class.
Complete waste of time. Choose a more interesting elective, this one is all class discussion with some random papers thrown in. Tests on concepts barely touched on in classRate My Professors ↗
