BSE 308
Quality 5/5Difficulty 2/5
Professor Shutske is very clear in what he wants from you, and he cares most about your understanding of the topics covered. He gives excellent feedback and clearly cares about his students. BSE308 is also very applicable to life, and I highly recommend taking it, especially with Shutske!
