CollegeHis lectures are a little confusing but he really cares about his students especially those that show interest in the course. There are 4 mini exams + 1 make-up exam if needed, and 2 easy projects.The mini exams are all mini essays and I am not really too sure what they are graded on, plus they are worth a big part of your grade.
Elaborated a lot about the slides in lecture and you can tell how passionate he is about the material. No knowledge mcq tests, but rather tons of writing, which I preferred. There was a lot of assigned reading, but honestly I just focused in lecture, as well as section, and I did pretty good off of that. Just skimmed through reading.
You could tell Professor Walsh was very passionate about what he was teaching. He is really nice and it was overall a really good course. The lectures at times were hard to get through.
super easy class Papers and exams are only 300 words, you can do it in a day. As long as you're trying you'll get a good grade. I barely read the main textbook and did well. You may have to read the other book assigned but not the full thing
