Winter 2020 - This was my first seminar class, and I want to let ppl know that this class is very different from other lecture classes. The general structure is mostly to do readings at home, come to class to discuss it, and the professor would lead the discussion& clarify important things. We are not informed of the participation grade/ paper grade but only know a final letter grade, but here are a few things that I think are important 1. Participation matters. In the syllabus, participation takes 30 percent of the grade! 2. The workload is HEAVY. For each lecture, we need to read 1-3 papers (30-100 pages). In order to do well in participation, you need to be prepared, which means to do the readings. The professor may also call people's names to ask questions if he thinks those people are not active in discussions. 3. Papers are long. We wrote an annotated bibliography (~15 sources) and a final paper. The final paper was 6-10 pages single spaced 4. BUT, you will find the lectures very interesting if you do the readings. Professor Kellman is very knowledgeable& esteemed in this field, and I really did learn a lot in this class
