CLIT101 . Nesci C 3 Years Ago

Seriously the sweetest professor I had this quarter and she had a really pretty french accent HAHA. I especially loved all the movies she made us watch. It was her first time teaching C LIT 101 but was so knowledgeable about the course material that I couldn't even tell.

There are a lot of readings every week, plus prerecorded lectures in addition to the in person lectures. The weekly weren't too bad, I never watched any of the lectures or did the readings and I managed to get decent scores. The lectures are boring and she mainly just reads off her slides. Wouldn't recommend for an easy GE.

I took this class hoping it'd be an easy but interesting GED but it turned out to take a lot of my time than I had thought. She gives a few readings and a quiz every week. I never read the material but watching her lectures was very helpful and informational and enough to get you past the quizzes. Amazing professor but the content can be heavy.

I took this class P/NP because I didn't want to stress too much over the final, but I estimate I would have finished with a B. The professor is kind of hard to understand because of her accent, but she was good about putting captioning on the recordings to fix this issue and talking slower in lecture. Class is okay just lots of reading.
