Priyanka Ranade HACS408O Expecting an A+ Anonymous 12/18/2023	Might be the easiest HACS class I've taken so far (and that's saying a lot). You have weekly concept sheets that are basically just fill-in-the-blank from the lecture and are graded on completion. There are three projects and all you have to do is pretty much follow her instructions. She gives out a lot of easy extra credit with the projects, so I ended up having so much that I didn't need to take the final and I still got over a 100 in the class. We also had weekly group activities, but she gives you more than enough time in class to work on them. My group often got to leave the Zoom meeting 45 minutes early. Only reason I'm taking a star off is that she is disorganized. She would have to move lots of topics around because she lectured longer than she thought she would, but she would never go over class time. She also ended up uploading pre-recorded lectures and canceling some later assignments due to stuff with her other job. This did make the class easier, however, but it just felt disorganized.

About half of the lectures and the final presentation were canceled which I appreciate. The main issue is grading took very long and communication was really poor. She also does not hold office hours even though posted on her syllabus, so you need to email her any questions especially for projects since they are vague. Nonetheless, Priyanka is a generous grader. Overall, the content in this course is also extremely niche and hard to find online, and I basically learned nothing. YMMV with the next time it's offered.

She is insanely nice, she gives ALOT of bonus points, as you can tell by the grade data, everyone gets an A. She made the final 40pts so if you got bonus points from other projects you could essentially skip the final (as I did). The projects are a cake walk. The final group presentation is another cake walk. Easy 3 credit ACES Course, its virtual too so you dont even need to really attend class
