Spring 2020 - Your grade depends on your TA. I had Sal, he was really cool and helpful. Also, this class covers books, movies, image galleries etc., it's not too monotonous. Grade: Attendance 15% Discussion Sections participation: 15% Gallery project 15% Paper 1: 25% Paper 2: 30% Prof. Goyal herself is cool too. She's knowledgeable and the issues discussed in class are pretty relevant and current. You don't need to do all the readings 100%, just focus well on the ones you'll be writing about.
