Mary is the best professor I have had while here. She is so willing to help anyone and she makes the class material fun. I will definitely be taking another class with her. Make sure to read and go to screening because she will quiz you on what went in in screening!

The class isn't hard, what will make you or break you is the right TA!! It is crucial to get a TA that won't be a jerk about grading your papers. Avoid Ben. Mary is great!

Interesting class. The exams are straight off the slides so make sure you write everything down and memorize everything. Papers are factually based and straight forward, but the TAs are inconsistent and can screw you over. She's very helpful if you go to her office hours. Great class!
