Fall 2016 - Professor Lipman was really nice! She taught very engaging and interesting lectures and the class was quite enjoyable. However, my TA was a pretty inconsistent grader, and he also graded all my assignments super late so I was never able to use any of the feedback to improve. There are 4 labs (including participation and attendance points which count as much as one lab) and I averaged like a B/B+ in them because I never received any feedback until after finals week. Nonetheless, extensions were handed out like candy which was pretty awesome. Also, professor Lipman has a policy where if attendance in class is high throughout the quarter she holds a group midterm and final which is such a grade boost! Also make sure to do the Extra Credit! It's basically a two-page book report that can give you up to 4% more on your overall grade if you get full marks. I did it in an hour and didn't even read the book and I got full marks on it so I highly recommend doing it. It's most likely going to bump you up to the next letter grade.

Fall 2019 - This was a genuinely great course. I was never bored with any of the material, and actually looked forward to coming to class. The professor was super clear with what she was going to test on, as I feel she learned from previous students feedback. If you went to class she would tell you what topics of questions she would test on, saying "I always put this type of question on the test". Lipman also seemed like a genuine person who cared about her students. Gina was also an AMAZING TA. Super well informed and kind. Take this class, it will honestly change the way you see the world!
