I really enjoyed Professor Fowlie's class. The syllabus is crystal clear. She provides outlines of what she expects. Workshops for extra credit (35 pts max, each workshop is 5pts) If you score perfect attendance all semester, your final is an automatic 100 %. If you skip class, she'll deduct from your participation points. She is great at teaching
