Professor Kuo clearly cares a lot about these topics which makes her lectures a lot more engaging. The exams are open-note and are really easy. There are a lot of readings and they are on the exam, but again it's open note (including the readings) so just look at what they are about before hand.Rate My Professors ↗
Course is set up very well and is organized well. Lectures can get a little but boring, but she does a good job incorporating relevant media in class to relate to concepts. There's one group project but it's not bad and you get a lot of time to work on it.Rate My Professors ↗
Professor Kuo is amazing! Lectures are easy to follow along and attendance is not taken. There is attendance in discussion but it is also super easy. You don't need to do the readings and the exams are super straight forward.Rate My Professors ↗
Dr. Kuo was awesome! She was super kind and very engaging in all of the information. The readings were low-key not necessary, but the class was very interesting and interactive.Rate My Professors ↗
