One of the BEST professors I've ever had at UW. Everyone MUST take a class with her, she is such an angel and is so passionate and knowledgeable about what she does.

Simone is such a kind professor and set very clear standards for the class right at the beginning. This class was very thought provoking, relied on talking with your peers a ton, and had many great guest speakers throughout. Used contract grading, so if you did the assignments with effort and showed up to class, you're sure to get a good grade.
