Really glad I ended up taking this section of 4600. Professor Wylie is really smart and engaging, and also is very friendly and runs a relatively fun class. The ethics lectures are more interesting than the Thesis lectures. She had us submit our final Theses relatively early compared to other classes (late March, a week after Spring break), but it actually worked out really well. I didn't have to worry about the class or my thesis at all the last 7 weeks of classes, whereas many other students I know had there's due beginning of May. For the Ethics portion of the class, it was mostly focused on student-led discussions and presentations, which were a lot of fun and actually very interesting and intellectually stimulating.
