Professor Trella is a bit dry, and the TA makes all the difference. Professor Trella makes it really easy to get an "A" because he offers extra credit that you can do that can add up to four points to your overall final grade. That made the class and final must less stressful. There are 4 open book tests. Weekly responses (they can be pictures of your notes) due every week for section. There is a midterm and a final also open book. The midterm and final are essay style, while the tests are more straightforward. All the course materials can be found online, so it was a no cost class for me. Overall, I would recommend it because it is an interesting class and the final was essay questions about a fictional archaeological excavation project, which was actually kind of fun. Trella is pretty accommodating so I would take this class. #tCFfall22
