Reviews of professor Laura Wittcoff

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
PPDE505 is a useless class that requires a ton of research on a single topic, leading to a final memorandum. You're with a group for the entire semester too so make sure they're good. Wittcoff made this class so confusing and unnecessarily stressful. Wastes time during lecture and scrutinizes your work to find the most minor detail to dock points.

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
505 is a 2 unit class, but I would essentially view it as a 4 unit class in terms of workload when creating your schedule for the semester. That said, Wittcoff does a great job with making sure the pacing of the semester's work is reasonable, is willing to negotiate deadlines, and really guides you through the semester-long group project
