Winter 2021 - TAKE THIS CLASS!! Professor was super accommodating during COVID and allowed for a 72-hour grace period to turn in assignments late with NO penalty (and this also applied to the midterm!) I learned so much and the workload was light. Weekly reflections, 1 take-home midterm (we had 1 week to complete it - the average was about 95%), and an 'action plan' project that you work with in a group in your discussion sections. Super great course and he really aims to teach students and allows us to work with the material. Highly recommend!
