Organization was kind of confusing, and polices the use of laptops/phones/tablets/any electronic devices for no reason. Very easy class though, just skim the readings and show up to section (lecture optional). Most difficult part about the class was the final project. Make sure to plan that out.

Lectures are entertaining and easy to follow. She doesn't allow laptops in class, but you can ask the TA for permission. The hardest part for me was a final project where we had to find people to interview and film a video. Final is multiple choice and is pretty straightforward. You can easily skim the readings and get by.

Elana was awesome. Class is designed to get you an A (weekly discussion posts, 1 midterm, film project, and online final.) Super engaging, structured lectures, she's super passionate about what she does. Consistent review of key topics and makes it clear what's to be expected on exams - no surprises. Best GE I've taken.

Overall, really easy class. 1 Midterm, film project, and final w discussion posts weekly. Just show up to lecture, review slides, and complete everything and you should get an A. Only thing was the lecture material was skewed to be a bit one sided.

I loved Professor Resnick! She is so passionate about what she does and made the class super manageable. She really makes you see the world from a different perspective. Grading is super easy and the class is just weekly discussion posts, final film project, final exam, and midterm. All were relatively easy to do.

I love professor Resnick. Her class is very manageable, the TAs were very respectful. Midterm, Final, and Final Project (all very easy, the average for the midterm was over 90%). Overall interesting class.

Prof. Resnick is super smart and funny. She will teach you to see the world in a different way. The class is not that hard. I really appreciated how insightful she was and I learned a lot from her. I would definitely take another class with her.

This class was a literal mess, but an easy A? Like, if you did everything, you basically get an A, but the structure of this class was absolutely horrible.

I know a lot of people didn't like the flipped classroom but I personally enjoyed it. The class was overall very easy and I got a 100% overall. Just review slides before the tests, do all the journal entries, and you're set.

The "flipped classroom" was not it. It was not engaging enough for me and sometimes slides would not have enough info or vague. Midterm and final were at least straightforward. Lucky to have a great TA though! Also there is a ridiculous amount of writing involved and no writing credit which is upsetting.

I took this class for a GE and it was very enjoyable. There wasn't much work to do and she is a very nice, understanding person. Each week she would assign about 2 readings which were relatively short, one discussion post, and one journal entry. The midterm and final are very easy as well. 10/10 take a class with her!

She teaches interesting concepts! Also shows music videos to connect to the lessons which I found cool. Midterm and exam are straightforward, make sure you review readings and lectures and youll be good! Very understanding! Take her, you wont regret it.
