Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5

Rebecca was a fun, smart teacher and a very fair grader. The class was fast-paced because it was advanced but I always was able to follow along.

Class not difficult in itself, but Rebecca makes it the one class you dread. Participation is basically mandatory and in retrospect... I would have taken 102 with another prof (or TA) because I would have done much better.
