You have a lot of time to complete the bigger assignments (there are only a few) and you can easily get by skimming the readings or looking up summaries. Prof. Nelson's lectures are great and she is more than happy to discuss anything course-related with you, virtually or in-person.",

TA was great and really helpful, and you'll prob get a good grade as long as you attend, but I don't recommend taking it.",

Frustratingly, however, the actual papers assigned in this class were largely unrelated to the lectures and the grading criteria was incredibly vague.

Other than that no quizzes/tests, and basic homework. One real essay and one video pitch. Worth it if you can advocate for yourself.",
