Awesome professor! Cares for her students academically and for their overall well-being. Easy grader and gives good feedback on your assignments that build up to your final project.

Prof. McDonald is a very kind lady, she made sure we understood everything going on, I just personally wasn't as interested as I thought I'd be. Most of the readings were really good, I really enjoyed the books and articles, but I just found lectures boring. Don't let my personal feelings keep you from this class though, def recommend.

weekly readings, don't let them build up! 3 essays total that build off each other (1 pg, 3 pg, 5 pg) with a theme you choose at the beginning of the quarter, so your readings and forum posts are very focused on finding evidence for your writing. prof kate is an amazing lecturer and makes sure you're prepped to succeed in the course. no curveballs!

She really cares for the students, is very accessible and promotes good habits as a student. There are only two simple quizzes and three papers that build off of one another, meaning that you're well prepared for the final when it comes. However, there is a lot of reading in the meantime.
