Fall 2017 - Th course itself was okay. You honestly get more out of the beginning readings than anything else. The issue was, however, that it was taught as a history course. That and Lee's lecturing style bounces around quite a bit. Following along with her notes on the board is practically impossible. Fortunately, she is rather knowledgeable and offered extra credit. I ended with an A but only through my own work outside of class.
