All lectures slides are online, no quizzes, no exams, discussion based but only online. Final is a group presentation. Tophat for attendance. Sometimes in class assignments.

I LOVED CARLYN! I want to take more classes with her. I had her last year for RPSE200 and she continues to follow up with my class a year later to see how we are doing and check in. She is the professor that you highly respect but see her as a companion and friend. If I could rate her higher I would!!!!
