Fall 2017 - Nushin is a great and relatively easy professor. There are no textbooks required for this class and no discussion section. She uploads readings that you are supposed to read as homework, but you don't need to read because the midterm and the final material doesn't include the readings at all. You don't have to go to class - just memorize the lecture slides that she shares with the class and know the concepts because the midterm is all blue book; you have to answer long response questions covering lecture topics. Start the final paper early to get a good grade – she says 10 to 12 pages, but 1.5 spaced, not double spaced, so it ends up being pretty long. Otherwise, that's the only work you have to do for the class. Overall, I liked Nushin a lot as a person and she is a very interesting personality.
