CollegeSO MUCH READING. But other than that it was a pretty easy class. The Mayfair is a pretty chill, funny lil lady. Showing up to class is mandatory but she posts lectures online anyway. Downside- midterm and final were mostly essay questions so my hand was hecka cramping by the end
So much reading is involved in this class. She is a bit technologically challenged which can get a bit old. You have to be on top of your stuff for the midterm and final! If you work hard you can pass without a doubt.
Lectures were boring, but available online. Reading is basically required in order to do well on midterm & final. LOTS OF READING. Wish we had gotten more preparation for final. Grade based on midterm, final, group project, & attendance. Class is hard because of so much reading and difficult midterm/final, but work hard and you'll probably pass.
Pretty chill class and attendance wasn't checked until the last few weeks or month of the quarter. Very boring lectures. Her slides were very useful study guides for the midterm and final.
EACS/RGST128: 25% presentation 30% midterm 45% final(75% tests for nonstem?!). Yapped so much and barely lectured. Didn't provide much academically relevant material/information. No instructions for presentation, graded exponentially harder on final despite extra final essay. Extra credit didn't make a difference(she didn't even add it).
As a RG ST major this was the worst professor I've had. Her lectures were packed full of random information and there was no clear layout to the course. As a side note the neon colors she's used on her slides gave me a headache every class. Tests were hard but at least the final was online. Would recommend avoiding this teacher.
