IPEC0240 with Kristina Sargent2 days ago

I took the class with Sargent and there were exams that were on the surface level fair and the content was what was discussed in class, but the way she graded it was completely unfair. In class she even mentioned how econ grades needed to be lower and she was carrying out that task. Don't expect the homeworks to be easy or grade-boosting either; AI is useless for them. For the final any exam you nmissed was added to your finals weight.

IPEC0304 with Gary Winslett20 days ago

Take any Winslett class you can. The best classroom environment I've ever had. He goes out of his way not to assign any busywork, is more than generous with extensions, and his AI policy is basically "dont write your whole paper with it and youre fine." He actively taught us how to best use AI to help with the class, and would do outdoor lectures/hand out candy/play games all the time. Best teacher in the IPE dept and I would argue in the PSCI department.

IPEC0240 with Obie Porteous2 months ago

Obie is a great professor. He is clearly very passionate about his subject material, but sometimes he goes a little too fast when explaining the models we learn in class. Your grade is very dependent on the 3 exams in this course, but thankfully they are curved.
