I loved Dr. Leavitt's class! It was a very good way for me to prepare to get married next month! She has an opening social at the beginning that was probably my favorite part of the class, and she has very clear grading criteria, giving you plenty of time to complete assignments. There was a lot to do, but all of the assignments were meaningful.

The professor's teaching style was affective and the lectures were clear and engaging. However, this wasn't my favorite class. This was mainly because I already knew most of the topics taught and there was a lot of homework. It's a good class, but I would have rather taken a class that counted towards general requirements or credits for my major.

I took this course online. There are a lot of lecture videos to watch and a lot of textbook reading. You can pass without reading though. We had video-recording discussions every week that counted toward participation. The most complex part is you actually have to know the content because half of the test is short-response questions.

Professor Leavitt cares a lot about the subject but over 50% of your grade depends on tests that are not reviewed well and graded a bit harshly. Reviews depend student questions, they don't go over anything beforehand.

One thing I will say is that the tests go fine if you legit MEMORIZE the study guide, but the reviews aren't helpful at all because they don't go over anything, they just rephrase the questions on the study guide, and then don't help you find the answers. So those are useless but that's more the TA's.

Professor Leavitt is an amazing lecturer! I really enjoyed her videos. The online class is great, self paced. The tests are pretty easy if you're good at memorizing things, definitely watch the TA reviews and go back to find specific things from the lectures. Some assignments are longer so stay on top of them and you'll be fine.

Okay, background. I usually hate online classes, however, this class was my absolute favorite class I've ever taken. Professor Leavitt makes it personal, inspiring, intrinsically motivating, and transformative. If you put in the effort and pay attention, you will change for good because of this class. I'd recommend her to anyone!
