Quality 5/5Difficulty 1/5
Very easy and straight forward class. Most of the time the structure of the class is research/preparation on Mondays and then presentations on Wednesday. The assignments can feel sort of repetitive at times, but the class overall is not very difficult. Very easy Grader!

Quality 5/5Difficulty 2/5
This class is good for learning about the design process. You have to present a decent amount, but she's nice in her grading. She wants all her students to succeed, and she's very kind. Would take this class again.
