for LS217: Insanely easy course. Not complaining about an easy A, but wish lectures were more than just the EXACT required readings from the textbook. Exams are take home, open note, AND you can submit revisions for points back. Lowest scores of the class for most were around 93% and I got a 100% on each one.Rate My Professors ↗
Very relaxed, which is good or bad depending on you. Regularly posted assignments and lectures late or not at all, didn't grade until the end of the semester and was very hard to get in touch with. But, she graded very easy, offered EC, was understanding if you had any logistical issues, and to be fair the content was very good and I learned a lotRate My Professors ↗
Attendance was mandatory but she ended up cancelling about 6 classes herself. The slides& lectures were kind of a mess and had a lot of typos. The content itself was interesting and it was not too hard of a class.Rate My Professors ↗
She was a very kind and chill instructor but lectures were lowkey a mess and you could tell she didn't want to be there. She ended up cancelling like two full weeks of class but attendance at lecture was somehow still mandatory for us.Rate My Professors ↗
Professor Anderson was the ONLY professor to take my disability accommodations seriously and reach out to check in on me. She is unbelievably kind and gives great feedback. You learn a ton in the course, but the assessments aren't designed to trip you up or trick you. By far my favorite course that semester. You are an icon, Prof Anderson!Rate My Professors ↗
Prof Anderson was great! If you skim through the readings and pay attention to her lectures, you should be set for an A. The "exams" are three essays with very interesting and creative topics (nothing boring). She puts students mental health first, and she offered 48-hour extension on assignments.Rate My Professors ↗
