Professor Framel is so helpful and understanding both inside and outside of class. Her lectures are incredibly interesting and you can tell she loves what she does. There are usually weekly readings due before class which are not hard and relate to the lecture. Additionally, there are a couple of papers throughout the semester but nothing crazy. The last hour of class is meeting with your group that she assigns you to talk more personally about what she taught in lecture that day. I have made some really great connections in this class. 100% recommend. Not a hard class at all and very enjoyable.
