Fall 2021 - I absolutely loved this class. Coming in with little to no knowledge about INF STD or the fields which were discussed I can say I've learnt a lot and enjoyed every lecture in this class. As I did take it online, it is possible the lack of a final exam may have made the class easier, but I did find the final essay prompt quite challenging (yet still interesting). Professor Srinivasan is clear, passionate about the content and cares about his students. We had brilliant lecturers join us and both TAs, as well as the professor, were clear and helpful when we had queries. I would strongly recommend anyone takes this class!
