This class is absolutely incredible to take as an elective! The content is interesting, and evaluation is mostly based on 4 non-cumulative quizzes as well as a final group presentation on a topic of your group's choice. Would highly recommend.

The main professor is good, and there are many guest lecturers as the term goes on, providing good variety to keep things engaging.
