Professor King is a great professor. It's clear she is passionate about the topics and she does a great job explaining them. a bit fast paced. There were 3 quizzes that were fairly simple if you study the slides and your notes. There is a project that was very open ended and could be pretty fun if you make it your own. lots of available resources.

Professor King explains concepts with clarity and precision and puts effort into making lectures interesting. No midterms or finals but weekly assignments require critical thinking. She and her TA are approachable and pleasant to interact with during office hours. Beware - attendance matters and counts for a considerable part of your grade.

i was really nervous to take this class just given the name of it but Professor King was so awesome. the class is so interesting, her TA is awesome, and the sections are fun! i struggled the first week but after going to office hours and making friends in the class it became my favorite course this quarter. don't get intimidated by the course name!

Professor King was great! She cared a lot and made the structure of the course very easy. Attendance was mandatory but all assignments and quizzes were online on gauchospace. There was an unlimited amount of time for the quizzes and assignments and no midterm or final so the class was great!

Her class is pretty straight forward and easy to understand. Although there is a lot of terms to remember, they can be easily memorized because she always reviews a little bit before class. She is a super nice professor and accessible outside of class.
