    MUS15 . 5 Months Ago

    What's the point of making the grade criteria so vague? I spend so many hours writing and all I got are mostly "satisfactory"?? like wtf is that? This is the worst course I've ever taken at UCSB. Yall did a horrible job. (FYI I got 3.97 gpa)

    MUS15 . 1 Year, 5 Months Ago

    Very chill. Very well structured lectures, low stress sections. Easiest GE I took, and some of the units were quite interesting.
