Really weird course structure, as every lecture day is a different guest lecturer. Discussions, readings, and lectures all seemed kind of disconnected. Weekly pop quiz on readings. Not sure how great the professor is since she wasn't the main lecturer. Also, need to attend CREECA lectures for class.

Professor Van de Water was a good professor but rarely lectured. It was basically all guests. She gives super easy pop quizzes but they are used mainly for attendance. The textbooks were just some books, pretty cheap. Super easy class and interesting.
