Emily Lord MLSC250 Expecting a B+ Anonymous 12/07/2023	This course is a very interesting course to learn from, sometimes difficult and confusing to understand, but overall things are manageable. I like this professor, she is approachable and is very nice and is willing to answer questions. She seems like she understands and knows what she is doing with teaching the class and her lectures are easy to read and digest from. She assigns readings, videos, and reading quizzes and also a lot of discussion preparation assignments which are interesting to work on. This class really makes you dive deeper into the topic instead of thinking one way, which can be challenging if you don't have a full understanding about the content that is given. I also enjoy the class discussions we have because she asks interesting questions that can provide unique responses and luckily the people in my class are talkative and can lighten the mood. If you take notes, show up to class, do the assignments, and ask for help, then you should pass in this course. Currently I have a B so the coursework is manageable, so no complaints.

The professor clearly loves the topic, but we had to do Python which wasn't expected. There aren't many grade opportunities besides minimal HW and reading quizzes.

Discussion sections were sometimes awkward, but that had more to do with people not participating. I would take this class again.
Emily Lord MLSC250 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/17/2022	Nice person but not a great professor. MLSC250 sounded like an easy gen ed and an interesting class with a title like “LOL that’s not funny” but I was so wrong. We had weekly homework assignments and quizzes that made up the majority of our grade. Lord would grade the homework on correctness, but the content was opinion based or an example from our lives 95% of the time. She would take off points for the most ridiculous stuff which really impacts your grade, considering it’s almost fully made up of the homework. There was a surprise participation grade at the end of the semester as well that brought my grade down even though i went to every single class. She calls on people randomly like it’s a high school class. Would not recommend.
