    Very good informative lectures and the slides were always available to review. The interpreters sometimes make mistakes which can be confusing but overall a very good lecturer and a very good class. It's refreshing to take a class that actually succeeds at enhancing your knowledge of the subject!

    I was worried about this class because this class overlapped with my other class but SURPRISINGLY went well regardless. The teacher always seems open-minded about feedback which I believe is super cool of her. I had a complaint about an assignment but seems that they took more consideration (+1). My TA was super friendly and reasonable as well.
