Winter 2021 - I took this class during Covid. The material was really really interesting and I feel like I learned a lot, however, I would've preferred that the professor gave live lectures instead of posting previous BruinCast recordings. Moreover, the only graded materials were the midterm and final. Each of those consisted of four short essays with relatively vague prompts, but super specific grading rubrics that were not released until after the exams were due. I still did relatively well on the midterm and final, but one essay I got docked a ton of points because I didn't match the rubric and, even though the rest of my essays were really good, I couldn't get back up to an A.

Spring 2020 - I thought this class was super interesting, and Dr. Karney delivers it in a way that is very entertaining. Unfortunately, I took this class during quarantine, and instead of zoom he just posted old bruincast videos. I would have preferred zoom but there is a chance that that may have been worse. The exams are kinda tough. He says that no dates or names will be on the test, but a few of the questions do mention specific people and their definitions of things. Overall, I do recommend this class! It is definitely doable and worth it.
