Fall 2021 - This is a super fun seminar course for entering freshmen in materials science and engineering. In this class you'll be making cookies and ice cream, creating and breaking beams, and listening to (what I thought were) interesting lectures at the end by guest presenters including professors and PhD students. This class was really just a chance to have fun and socialize with other MatSci majors. The entire grade depends on one paper you submit at the end of the quarter. The paper focuses on a topic of the student's choosing relating to materials science, and it cannot exceed three pages (including images and works cited). Do not go try hard on the paper like I did—most people wrote it in no more than two days and got A's.

Her accent is there, but you can definitely understand what she is saying. She has very nice writing, though she mostly uses ppts. Lectures are really boring since she just goes through the slides quickly, though some of the examples are helpful for hw. This quarter, both lectures had all the same hws and midterms, which sucked if you were in the second class and didn't cheat to find out what was on the test. The class is A LOT of reading and memorizing random graphs, but doable.
