Professor makes the class interesting and cares about students! Lots of work, but she lets you choose whatever topic you want for your big project, which is good!

This class was very disorganized. it impacted my learning capabilities a lot as i struggled with the constant group work and pairing with new people every time, it was hard to converse with the professor interrupting so much. this class prepares you a lot for grad school, though, and overall is easy.

I feel like it was more work than normal to get an A-, but I learned a lot especially about research and feel ready for grad school. She cares about her students and is a good professor who is interesting and dedicated. A negative is that she is very strict about not using AI and even grammarly. She also makes you put away all devices during class!
