Professor Neville is genuinely kind-hearted and cared a ton about us. Her class was a little light on reading and work but discussions were still very informative. She hosted us at her house for final presentations (with food!) which was incredibly nice of her. Overall a great professor + straight-up great person.

Prof Neville is THE BEST. I 100% recommend her FIG. She is big into "grades don't define what you have learned" and everything is basically graded by completion. She is so caring and she mostly wants you to walk away knowing how to be passionate and successful. Every lecture is a student led discussion and the readings are super interesting.

Prof. Neville makes it very clear that she wants you to succeed. She provides a lot of useful tips and makes accommodations to help you as best as she can. She is very nice, and she doesn't make you do busy or useless work. Prof. Neville is a great, enthusiastic teacher!
