CollegeGreat professor, it's clear he likes the subject material and is very willing to answer any questions you may have. Lecture isn't mandatory but it helps a lot with exams if you show up. Exams are heavily based on lectures and some material from labs.
Wendy is absolutely hilarious and class with her is never boring. Be prepared to work a LOT (like every day), but it's so worth it in the end and you feel so proud of yourself for all the work you've accomplished. She also gives you a lot of feedback and is pretty accessible out of class. Honestly one of the coolest people I know.
He's a pretty zany guy, I wish I was able to take more classes with him. I will say though, the problem sets didn't really prepare me for the exams.
Her screenwriting classes are educational entertaining and fun. There are a lot of modules to go through but they are all so worth it if you are passionate about creating content for the screen. You definitely get out what you put in, and it's not hard to create great results because she is so encouraging and wants to see you succeed. No busy work
Genuinely one the of the best profs! So funny and lectures were NEVER boring. He always made the time to talk after class. 4 Problem Set packets, math was difficult. Easy 8-min group presentation in section. Entire grade based on 2, 70-100 questions exams w/ EXTREMELY SPECIFIC questions. Such an amazing & caring man, but exams were lowkey a joke.
Four problem sets, one presentation, two midterms. Problem sets are relaxed, but grades really depend on TAs. Mine was chill and helped me with questions I was stuck on. The first test was 100 questions, the second 74. No study guide or cheat sheet. Review sessions were not great. Ended the class with a 98% after studying slides for hours.
