The Critical Review

The Critical Review’s Editor and Writer of the Month for October are Haley Seo and Cerulean Ozarow. Thank you for all of your hard work!

Haley is a senior from Los Angeles, California concentrating in Applied Math-Biology, with plans to go to medical school following a gap year post-graduation. Haley joined The Critical Review in the fall of 2020 and wrote for four semesters before becoming an editor. She loves the Critical Review because she gets a behind-the-scenes look at students’ honest feedback on course experiences (sometimes for classes she had never heard of before). At Brown, Haley’s favorite classes have been EAST1090: Translating Korean: Fiction, Poetry, and Film and APMA0360: Applied Partial Differential Equations. We are so thankful for all of your hard work, Haley!

Cerulean is a computer science concentrator from Brooklyn, New York who plans to teach, write and work in educational policy following graduation. Cerulean joined The Critical Review last semester and has particularly enjoyed getting to know about courses that he may not have had the opportunity to learn about otherwise. Cerulean decided to join the Critical Review after spending much of his first year at Brown browsing the website for course reviews — “I was too big a CR fanboy to not write for it,” he said. At Brown, Cerulean has enjoyed taking PHYS0270: Astronomy and Astrophysics. Thank you so much for your continued dedication to The Critical Review, Cerulean!

We're excited to announce the first ever Critical Review Editor and Writer of the Month!! We will be highlighting members of our incredible team every month this semester.

Our Editor of the Month is Kaitlyn Mi. Kaitlyn is a senior from Nashville, TN who joined the Critical Review way back in her freshman year! Kaitlyn is studying Cognitive Neuroscience at Brown and will be getting her Masters in Public Health (MPH) at Dartmouth following graduation. Kaitlyn's favorite part of writing and editing for the Critical Review is that she's able to read all about fun classes in other departments. Her favorite course that she's taken at Brown is "Medical Illustration" (PLME0400). Thank you so much for being such a valuable member of the Critical Review these past few years Kaitlyn! We will miss you so much.

Our Writer of the Month is Laura Chen! Laura is a sophomore from New Orleans, LA concentrating in Health and Human Biology. Laura joined the Critical Review during her first semester of freshman year. Laura loves "that by writing and compiling reviews, we are really helping students embrace the open curriculum and explore courses they're truly interested in by providing insightful information about each class offered here." Her favorite course at Brown is "Intro to Acting and Directing" (TAPS0030), because the professor was amazing and the course exposed students to a very wide range of topics surrounding theatre arts! Thanks so much for all your contributions to the Critical Review, Laura!
