Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5
This is definitely the best class I've taken at Madison. Marcos is such a friendly, easygoing instructor. I really looked forward to attending the lectures, so much so that sometimes they didn't even feel like work. There are 3 papers and 2 presentations, but they were manageable. 10/10 would take another class with Marcos! :-)
