One of the best courses I've taken, classes are fun and we get to interact and with each other and apply what we learn in readings and lectures to network with each other and expand our social network. Several people in my class were able to help each other get in contact with people who could help them find work over the summer and upon graduating
Michal is not only an awesome teacher but a very great person. She is super welcoming and invites the students over for coffee / baked goods. There was little work in the class which actually made me enthusiastic about going. She tries to make the class a chill environment which helps the class to grow as a community rather than a force.
