I really didn't enjoy this class. The work was overkill for a three-credit class.

Quality 2/5Difficulty 4/5

Katherine is neither the best nor worse professor you can have, but rather a mix. There were definitely more good vs. bad days, but this class was generally awful and unstructured for 3-credits. I found demography to be quite boring. I just BSed whatever I could onto my project so take a different class if you're a CAR student too.
