CLIT50B . Nesci C 1 Year, 1 Month Ago

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.

CLIT50B . Nesci C 1 Year, 1 Month Ago

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.

If you're taking this class as an A-G, don't do it, I mean u could but, its hellaaaaaaaaa boring and you need to do like 3 papers, and also for the quizzes, when u see "select all that apply" select all options and you'll get full credit for the question, thank me later, aight later bro.

Absolutely delightful class and person. Professor Nesci was very generous with extensions and assignments so long as students' needs were clearly communicated. She was far more interested in our learning and well-being than any of the assignments. I forgot about several assignments for mental health reasons and got extensions, no questions asked.

Prof. Nesci is an interesting lecturer and is very kind to her students. The grading criteria and due dates are a little unclear, but she's very lenient so it doesn't really matter. Lots of reading and discussion but it makes sense for a senior thesis course. Recommend!
