Professor was funny, interesting, and clear. Very interesting/fun class and easy to get a good grade (despite what the grading scale may seem) AS LONG AS YOU DO THE ASSIGNED READING. Make sure to allocate enough time to read, they can be long/dense. She goes over the reading/overall ideas in class, so it's best to attend.

Do the readings and take notes. Midterm and final are open note and based mostly on the readings. Passionate teacher

Ikeuchi is very nice and a great lecturer. She makes the content of the course extra interesting and her outfits always eat. Only issue is the test format is sort of difficult but Ikeuchi and Xu gave extra credit and redemption opportunities. Also there are assigned readings which are alright. I recommend taking Ikeuchi's classes shes a great prof!
