Bro istg this was supposed to be a chill class so the professor crashing out 4 weeks before the end of the school year was crazy. To be honest, even with 2 hour labs and low hella busy work in between, I loved my classmates so it made it worth it and I looked forward to classes. I also liked the class because it was very discussion based... but then we were told that our contributions to discussions was not what our prof was looking for. The expectations of you are to basically be able to religiously recite the author and everything about them down to the color of their hair... memorize all the points and facts in the reading too. Don't get me started on the grading. Most of my classmates and I were graded insanely harshly with unhelpful comments towards our work not really explaining the true problem of our work.

I am shocked to hear of the negative reviews from students of Prof. Huang, as I have had a great experience in her class. Not that critiques are invalid, I just had a different experience and our class environment definitely seemed to differ from the Games class. I would agree with other reviews that a lot of the time, it seems like Prof. Huang already has an answer in her head, and if you trip on wording, she will definitely correct you. One of my issues with the class was how much space other students would take up. Because Prof. Huang prioritizes students who didn't speak as often, I hesitate to blame this dynamic on her. You can kind of tell that she has favorites, but she still gives everyone a chance. The readings were great, a lot of them were quite dense but overall, really valuable pieces. I look forward to coming to class and despite minor issues, I would reflect positively on my experience.

Very relaxing class. Can really switch off if you want to. Very personal papers you need to write. In the middle of the semester you are put on the spot to talk about your opinion on free speech for 40 seconds +
