Jessica L'Roe
The course was sometimes interesting, sometimes boring AF. Teacher was nice and chill, but you need to participate. Readings are pretty much optional if you know the general ideas. Exams were chill. Like 4/10 difficulty.
If you're interested in how human development and innovation have improved our land-based livelihoods throughout history, this would be a great course for you. L'Roe is very well-educated on the course material and was very well-spoken in class which made lectures much more interesting.
I would suggest steering away from this class if you have any prior experience with statistics/R, as she grades it based on effort rather than proficiency. So, if you breeze through the homework’s (they are pretty simple), she’ll expect you to put in way more work than other people on the last few projects. I personally think this is an unfair grading style, but just keep it in mind
