Reviews of professor Erwan Monier

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Easy GE, two papers for the quarter (easy to fulfill rubric), and two quizzes weekly (open book on canvas). Lectures are super boring, slides are useless, won't hurt to skip the lectures in my opinion. If you have taken APES in high school, you already know most of the curriculum. Only difference is this course goes over socioeconomic factors.

Great demonstrations in class. The prof was passionate about what he was teaching. Only complaint is that the mathematic portions were covered in discussion, not lecture, and took up a significant portion of exams. Would take again.

Erwan was actually a really great prof. Explained things very well I just didn't pay attention much and skipped a little too often. Def go to his office hours if you get the chance, and he definitely does care about his students. Grading: Participation/Quizzes - 20% Homeworks - 40% Take-Home Midterm - 20% Final - 20%

The papers are a bit lengthier than I expected but Monier is a very compassionate professor who clearly cares about the subjects he is teaching. The lectures and class structure is very consistent / well organized with 3 quick quizzes a week and 2 short papers and a long paper.

The concepts themselves were dense and hard to grasp sometimes but they were presented in an approachable way on homework and tests (midterm + final). He was very generous when grading the final and even offered extra credit. Overall, an interesting class taught by a very friendly professor.
