Fall 2019 - Martie was great and her lectures were engaging and fun. I took the entirety of this cluster (including the seminar at the end), and I definitely don't regret it. I feel like I learned a great amount, and the class won't hurt your GPA as long as you put good effort into the essays and do the readings. If you show up to lecture and read the required texts you'll have no problem bopping out the essays and you'll be super prepared for the final. The learning experience in this class was also super TA dependent. I had Saanchi Shah and Jennifer Joines -- both were great. I liked Jennifer so much that I took her seminar in the spring which was super cool with reading material that I legitimately enjoyed wholeheartedly. If you can get Jennifer as your TA, do it.
