Jesus christ this class and this professor wasted my team each week for nothing. I could've learned more from the readings alone. Class times were spent creating presentations to be presented in the same class on a topic that the professor should be talking about. instead she has shifted the teaching load to us in these "self-directed" presentations. It *could* be interesting. But most are obviously just ChatGPT regurgitations. As one of TWO mandatory classes in the information graduate department, this is an outrage. Made me consider transferring.
