CollegeProf. Perrone is a great lecturer. Midterm was a take-home essay. Unfortunately a lot of people were using AI for their essays so she made the final in person closed note essays...Still a good class. All readings are on canvas or free. Passionate.
She's amazing. My favorite professor I've taken at UCSB so far.
She's very passionate which makes me enjoy lecture.
the professor is really good. the lectures are not mandatory, but incredibly interesting and helpful for writing the papers. if i were to take this course again however, i would definitely pick a better TA. not helpful with the feedback and incredibly snarky. its been extremely difficult with correspondence and feedback.
Great class to take over the summer. Only graded on one paper (4-6 pages), weekly forum posts, section participation, and the final. Really engaging lectures for an online class.
I took the online summer session for this course and was amazed at how engaging the lectures were despite being recorded! I can imagine her in person classes are even better.
