amazing! professor vivoda knows this class is taken as a foundational course and teaches it as such. very easy, no confusing concepts. you can tell how much he cares about what he is teaching & he tries to engage the class. very welcoming to students comments/questions. posts all his lecture slides, but attendance counts towards participation grade

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
He grades the papers kind of hard, but they are easy papers. He takes attendance and marks your participation. There are two exams, and they are not hard. He doesn't allow technology in the class so his lectures can get kind of boring.

Great professor. Tells you exactly whats on the test when hes going over powerpoints. Show up to class because attendance counts. Your TA grades the papers and presentation so go see them and get feedback before you turn them in. Great class!

Vivoda is great and is straight to the point. He often hints in class what will be on the exam and his lectures are very easy to follow. He is very attentive to the needs of his students. Class attendance is taken every day so you need to show up. 2 exams, 2 papers, and a presentation in front of a small group. Not bad at all for a foundation class

Highly recommend this class and professor. Genuinely cares about the material and wants students to learn. Not allowed to use phones/laptops in class but well worth it. More interesting and enjoyable than I expected. Grades and tests in a fair way

He's a great professor! I took this class not knowing a single thing about it, thinking it would suck, but it was actually one of my favorites. He's very good at getting people involved with participation during class.

Great lecturer, always comes well prepared and is ready to simplify ideas and concepts. We did have about 2 online quizzes every week through Pearson (you gotta buy an access code). Only two in class exams (midterm and final,not cumulative) and two papers. Pretty easy class, show up to lecture and discussion groups, finish quizzes early, easy A
