Fall 2020 - I loved this class. I learned a lot. Not too difficult. There's a one-page writing assignment every week and an 8-12 page paper for the final. It was all due at the end, so if you have a rough week, it's fine. He just wants you to think deeply about the subject, and the subject is interesting, so it's fun. He's a really nice guy. He's very good at communicating, and he's patient and encouraging.

worst professor ever no joke do yourself a favor and do not enroll. he rants and pulls random examples that dont relate and cannot use midterm. i swear he is pulling random thoughts out of his ass to kill time because he doesnt have anything to say in a two hour lecture. yes the TA all grade differently so good luck!
