Tessa is one of the best profs Ive had here, and one of my favorites. The class is graded on only a few things, but she is great at explaining things, and it's easy to get help from her. The concepts aren't THAT difficult either. There is a textbook that she recommends you read, but I didn't find that it helped very much.Rate My Professors ↗

Tessa is great, super sweet, and makes it a point to know her students. The class is graded by only a few things which can make it difficult to get your grade up BUT she is super approachable and probably one of the kindest professors I have had at UW.Rate My Professors ↗

Professor Conroy was an amazing teacher. She teaches the material in a super interesting way and really makes the class relevant to societal issues. Your grade besides tests very heavily depends on the homework assignments, but there is help available if you need it. Overall an awesome teacher and class.Rate My Professors ↗

Literally one of the nicest and most understanding professors I have ever had. She gives a lot of example problems in class to make sure you understand the material, so as long as you show up and participate, you can ace an exam with 2-3 days of studying. She will give study guides and review packets before exams too, which is very helpful.Rate My Professors ↗
