Spring 2021 - This class was well structured. A worksheet for the readings and lectures every week and every other week there would be another worksheet that helped you prepare for the 8-10 page final essay! The class was very interesting but sometimes the lectures can be longer than usual.

Spring 2020 - I didn't learn jack shit about architecture, but I know a hell of a lot more about colonialism now! If you like social justice and vaguely interconnected, borderline nonsensical lectures, this is the class for you! I took this class during 'rona quarter, so take everything I say with a grain of salt, but good fucking lord this is the weirdest class I've ever taken. You only have five assignments plus a midterm and a final, so everything is pretty easy, but you will NOT understand the writing prompts at all. The upside is that the TAs/Prof are very lenient graders and will happily give you credit for 300 words of well-sourced nonsense. I know many of my classmates did have issues with not getting ANY grades back until week 8, which was really shitty, but other than that the professor was very nice. He's genuinely excited about everything he's teaching even if the words coming out of his mouth make very little sense. Also, if you take a shot every time he says "strange" you'll black 5 mins into lecture. TL;DR: had no idea what was going on and got good grades on every assignment anyways.

Spring 2017 - This class was a very interesting and easy GE! I highly recommend this class to anyone interested in architecture or history or just looking for an easy GE. I am personally very interested in architecture so I might be a bit biased though. Fabbrinni talks very quickly in lecture and it can be a bit overwhelming and hard to take notes, but luckily he gives a study guide with topics we need to know for the midterm/final on it so as long as you take the time to study for it (3-5 hours each test) you should get an A. Every week there is a 5-10 page reading about architecture and a page reading response due. This probably took me an hour or less every week. For discussion I had Kyle as my TA and he helped us a lot to understand the concepts.
