Winter 2022 - This course was a more advanced, narrowly focused, version of his 142A course— which he offers as a prerequisite to 191C. In many ways this course is easy, you have creative freedom to form your own opinions on research papers but you need to understand his “Theory of Parties” first. The more difficult aspect of this course is found in his quizzes. He issued a weekly quiz based on lectures and readings. He takes specific passages or asks questions about individuals mentioned in the readings. There are usually 2-4 questions on each quiz and it can be multiple choice or short answer depending on what he decides. This course was overall very enjoyable and had the readings and quizzes not been like studying for a mini midterm each week I may have been able to take my time and appreciate the concepts more. If you take this course be prepared to work for your A and realize that it will probably make you apply less attention to your other ones.
