Professor Wattenmaker is a very nice person, but her class was incredibly disorganized. We did not receive a syllabus until about mid-October, which even then was fairly vague. Assignment descriptions were never very detailed, and I often found myself disinterested during lecture. Additionally, I have yet to receive my final grade in SIS for this class, despite the university deadline for final grades being the 23rd of December. I was really excited for this class going into the semester, but it ended up lacking what I expected.

The course is really interesting, and Professor Wattenmaker is very good at not forcing her views about theories on the students, but rather asks for their input frequently.
