Professor Patterson is pretty cool. She's approachable and helpful and knows a lot about the subject. She makes the content easy to digest for her students and allows adequate time to complete projects/assignments. The assignments may seem daunting at first, but once you get into it and start, along with using your notes from class, it's really not that difficult, especially since some assignments will be spanned out over up to three weeks. There's only one reading for this class at the beginning of the semester, but that's it. The rest is just notes from class (must be handwritten bc no tech allowed) and assignments. There is a final exam at the end of the class. There is also a participation grade.
