This review is for prof Wellmon, and the Engagement "Is it Cheating to use Chat GPT?"

Professor Wellmon is a very nice guy, and his class is largely discussion-based. Most of the class is a dialogue between him and the class, with occasional group work. He has a pretty strong personality, which I can see how some people wouldn't like, but I thought it was nice to have an energetic and enthusiastic professor.

The class content itself was pretty enjoyable at times but sometimes the content was really dry and boring. Half of the class does not even focus on chat gpt, just certain historical analogies to it.

The classwork was not very difficult, however, it was pretty tedious and many of the readings were rather boring and unnecessarily difficult in my opinion. Also, the assignments were almost all group assignments, and my group didn't really contribute much aside from one other guy.

Overall, I'd say that there are better and worse classes out there, but this one was alright if you're engaged with the content. If you just want an easy A and don't plan on being engaged at all, maybe pass on this one.

I would sadly not recommend this course. Professor Wellmon is a nice person and means well, but his class is just extremely disorganized and this engagement class in particular is very poorly taught. The readings have nothing to do with the topic but they are copious, frankly, a skim of the readings suffice. It’s a class about whether it’s cheating to use chat gpt but we were reading things about Christian monks. Ultimately it has the potential to be interesting but Professor Wellmon planned the course so poorly. Additionally, you really don’t get any grades back until the final grade is posted, if he likes you, you do well, but I knew MANY people who did all the work and ended up with a B, in an engagement?? Save yourself, don’t take this class.

The course was pretty interesting and simple, but really boring. The concepts themselves could be really fun to learn, but they they it's taught it not the best. The professor only lectures, so he doesn't pay attention to what does on in class. He also only ever remembers 5 names, so he only calls on those students for discussions. There are small weekly written responses based on the readings assigned each session, so they're really easy to do if you did some of the readings. My only problem with the class is the amount of readings we had to do. The projects aren't terrible if you have a partner, but the readings take hours to do. It shouldn't be worth that much time for a 2 credit engagements class. On top of that, we needed to take at least 2 pages of notes from the readings, which he collects at the end of the class. The main reason why I somewhat liked the class was because I didn't have to put much effort during the discussions.

It was a very chill engagement, but sorta boring. Professor Wellmon only lectures and doesn't really pay attention to what goes on with the rest of the class. For the discussions, he only calls on the 5 students he remembers the names of. Each week, he gives a small prompt based on the readings he assigned, and they are pretty simple to answer. My only problem was the amount of readings he made us do. For a 2 credit class, it is not worth it at all. Each session is assigned around 5 hours of reading, which is ridiculous. We were also assigned to write at least 2 pages of notes for each session that he collected at the end of the quarter. The only reason I liked this class was because I could finish other work during it.
