Spring 2020 - I loved this class so much. Professor Galateanu really cares about her students and the literature that she teaches. I took this class remotely, so I don’t know what it might be like in person, but she was incredibly generous with grading. Participation was weekly discussion posts on the readings, and there were 2-3 papers (final included). She really just wants to see you engage with the readings and make a genuine effort.
