Laurie's lectures can be engaging, but the exams and quizzes are quite challenging. The project is time-consuming, but extra credit opportunities are helpful. Overall, it's a tough class, but using unstuck AI and the textbook can make it more manageable.

Quality 3/5Difficulty 5/5
She is genuinely a nice person, but her lectures can get confusing. I like that she utilizes real-life examples to make lectures interesting. However, the three exams and many quizzes are challenging and difficult. The project is long and boring.

Laurie was nice, but her class is disorganized and time-consuming bc there are so many assignments and posts due that it's hard to follow along. Attendance is mandatory in discussion and lecture. Three exams, quizzes and there is one major project that has confusing directions.

Gives out a lot of extra credit, makes it apparent to not cheat and posts lectures online if you miss. Really hard to get an A like most 300s. Study for the quizzes and exams you will be fine.

Her lectures are interesting yet very fast paced. Extra credit is very helpful. Material is not difficult, but some exam questions are difficult to comprehend.
