Collegeeasy GE requirement, not much more to say
Loved Professor Gen Li, one of the sweetest professors I've ever had. Good lectures, amazing slides, and open-note exams. Homework was fairly simple as well. Cannot recommend this course enough.
Easiest area C GE you can take as a humanities major in my view. Attendance not mandatory, all slides posted on Canvas in advance, sections often ended early, all tests were asynchronous and open note. So easy love!!!
Such an underrated class! Prof Li gives clear lectures and is very friendly. Both the midterm and final were online, and there was a short final presentation. The course material is also very interesting if you want to learn more about natural disasters.
