Personal Comments

Professor Simpson is really a nice professor. If you are considering a GE course, I strongly recommend you take this course. You DO need to spend some time before the exams to recite the materials, but the lectures are engaing and the materials are interesting. Recite the materials and write the papers, and you will get an A.

Note

This note is directly transfered from my Notion note, so the format will be a little bit different. Professor Simpson is not actually changing the materials very frequently from year to year, so these notes might help.
