JOURN 176
Quality 5/5Difficulty 1/5
Prof. Dunwoody was a great professor! She seemed very passionate and knowledgable, and had many connections to experts, which meant we had a few great guest speakers! Instead of exams, we wrote papers, conducted a survey with a paper, and even created a video about climate change as our 'final.' This class is only offered as part of a FIG.
