Kate Crawford

The workload for this class wasn't crazy. The lessons were very interesting and surprisingly kept me engaged for a non-stem major. I took this class for the science credit expecting to hate it, but I loved it. The lessons followed a consistent pattern that could sometimes be boring, but comfortable. Crawford is very specific with what she wants from her students, so she is a bit of a tough grader. Nonetheless, it's clear she wants her students to apply what they learn in class into their lives. I recommend taking this class if you just want to get a science credit. It's more reviewing studies rather than any actual science.

For me, this class felt inconsistent and disorganized. This was probably partly because of COVID, but it was still underwhelming. Crawford and Mychajliw alternated teaching lecture by week, which made for some inconsistencies between teaching styles. I preferred Mychajliw to Crawford because of her approachability and enthusiasm. The lectures and labs also had almost nothing to do with each other. The lecture content was way too easy, but the instructions and grading were super unclear which made the class itself hard. Other than Mychajliw, the bright spot for me was lab with Dash because I actually felt challenged by the content. I had wanted to be an ES major, but this class changed my perspective. I would not take it unless you are an ES major; otherwise, choose a different science class for your distribution requirement.

I absolutely loved this class. It was definitely slow paced, and if I were a science person I can see why it may have been boring at times (especially at 8 am), I'm really interested in the subject of the class and I found it fascinating. The readings were difficult to fully comprehend at times, but the class overall was not at all difficult. And Kate is an amazing professor! I know the other reviews are pretty negative, but I personally would definitely recommend this course.
