i lovee prof pilegard! shes an amazing lecturer and shes really funny. i think that the most stressful part of this class really depended on your groupmates since some people didn't contribute. only bad thing was that my ta was a little picky when it came to assignments and there was alot of stuff due at the end which seemed rushed.

In-class demonstrations on Monday were fun and engaging. There are one-two lecture videos to watch by Sunday night, and the assignments are easy and graded based on effort. She allows cheat sheets for each exam and even has portions on the final that can raise midterm scores.

I like her as a teacher but either her or her TAs need to chill on their grading. They are incredibly nitpicky on the papers and it will tank your grade each time it's graded. I'm really disappointed in the grading style done by the teaching team. I really hope that they look at this and change it. Really disappointed how this class ended sour.

Celeste is such an upbeat and happy person and her mood was frequently contagious. Her lectures were very specific, organized, and easy to follow. She makes it simple to take notes and her tests were very fair. There was even some extra credit offered.

Celeste is totally adorable and funny. She really knows her stuff and she's great at laying it all out, so much so that the book is probably superfluous. (I never got/opened it)
