Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5
A really great guy, truly cares about all his students and this subject material. Class is a bit all over the place, but flexible attendance and grading wasn't harsh. TA grades everything but both him and Matt were accessible. Easy and engaging assignments.

Good guy, good class. Starts out a bit disorganized, but there are a lot of interesting topics. Yaa has been the TA for that class for a while, and she was great as well.

Quality 5/5Difficulty 2/5
This class consists of 5 papers that focus on providing your analysis of the data. There is an additional group presentation (based on the readings) and an individual presentation (based on the analysis), but both are easy and can help you write your paper. He will help you before and after class, and he appreciates everyone.

Quality 4/5Difficulty 2/5
Class was led by students presenting course readings; group elements; 5 papers, 2 presentations, and participation make up your grade; good choice if interested in research as he talks about his experiences and incorporates various related skills into the class; has unclear deadlines/expectations but not hard to get an A
