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.Rate My Professors ↗
Easy class but it required lots of reflection. She is niceRate My Professors ↗
An easy and fun class that's worth it for an extra credit! You really do learn a lot!Rate My Professors ↗
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.Rate My Professors ↗
