Participation and attendance are noted and it is 15% of your mark so you need to show up and participate. It can be quite easy participate as they are lots of class discussions. Exam and quizzes are very material heavy and not so much common sense. You need to study, read notes/PowerPoints and pay attention in class in order to pass.

The content was pretty interesting with some boring parts. A lot of it gives you another perspective on things such as foods and ads. A lot of ideas were things that most of us already know but was covered in more detail.

Mercedes was a really nice prof and she showed that actually cared about her students. Her PowerPoints don't fully align with what she's saying so you have to pay attention to both. She only posts her PowerPoint after she's taught the material meaning that you cannot prepare notes beforehand.

Exam and Quizzes are mostly on readings so do the readings!!
