Overall, the course was poorly managed, expectations were inconsistently applied, and communication from the instructor was unreliable, which negatively impacted my academic performance.

The instructor stated that I missed one day of class, which is incorrect. I attended every class session. He also told me that my grade for two assignments would be updated to reflect 100%, but this correction was never made. Additionally, I received an unusually harsh grade on the final review presentation, despite the fact that I attended office hours multiple times and contacted both the instructor and the TAs repeatedly via email for guidance. The instructor ultimately did not follow through on several commitments he explicitly stated.

Great class, no assignments other than preparing for a weekly journal discussion. Most exams were open note and could be taken over several days.

Rollins and Folimonova were fantastic, White was disorganized and went off on tangents.
