Quality 5/5Difficulty 2/5
This course was my favorite I've ever taken at UW, and Professor Atir is now my favorite professor. She is one of the few people on campus who actually wants you to learn. Don't be intimidated by the name of the course or what you will learn. This class teaches you REAL skills to apply every day as a professional and a human. HIGHLY recommend.
