Winter 2022 - This class was overall pretty interesting and pretty easy. Every week, we would have to read a script and either write script coverage or script notes on it (they teach you how to do this in class). Honestly this would be pretty time consuming as each script is about 100 pages and then you have to write about it. That being said, the assignments were predictable, they were not graded (except to mark that you did it/did not do it), and you received feedback from the TA's on how to improve. The midterm and final were just extended versions of the weekly assignments, so they did not feel much harder at all. The first few weeks were online and we were required to have our videos on in Zoom. But although attendance was listed as a component of the syllabus, they did not take it the last few weeks of class in person. The last two lectures were optional, and although the lecture material is interesting information about course material, it was not necessary for the homework and there were no tests on the material, so it was skippable (minus the initial required attendance). Overall this class was a little boring, but pretty straightforward.
