I never take time to write these but this class was actually horrible. I loved the content it was so interesting but the midterms and essay was crazy hard..the prof wasn\'t clear in what he wanted. He just states to \"refer to the syllabus\". I studied so hard for the midterms and ended with a 51 and 63 and the class average for the first midterm was 55... I don\'t know what it is about this class that makes it impossible to get an 80 on anything but only take it if you absolutely need it. Definitely not a bird course.

Favourite class so far! Lewis is a interesting teacher and his lecture notes are great (lots of videos too!). Midterms were fair and easy to get at least in the 80's. The paper was a bit different, but allowed for a lot of creativity (much more fun to write than my other papers). I would definitely recommend this class!

I liked this class. Pretty easy to get high 80s/90s if you do well on the midterms and final, but beware of the paper. It's hard to understand what he's looking for. He's a really nice prof though!

One of my favourite courses so far. I'm a science student so this class was a nice change. Professor Lewis is amazing at explaining all the concepts- you hardly have to touch the textbook (maybe just skim it). Added bones is the Lewis is ridiculously attractive and dresses well. Fun videos and class exercises too. If you actually study for the exams, you will do well. The only drawback is the 8:30am time-slot, but most people make it out anyways because the prof is such a sweetie (can you tell I'm in love?). Take this class!

Loved this course so much. Found it really interesting. Prof is super nice and funny. Projects were a little weakly outlined, but that also allows you to use a little more creativity. So in the end can't complain too much.

Hated this class. Teahcer was really nice and tried hard to keep us engaged. However, his expectations were always really unclear and that made his assighnments difficult because he was a very strict marker with no strict expectations. Many of my classmates mistaked this for a "bird" course.
