Winter 2020 - So I came into this class thinking it would be an easy elective and I definitely underestimated it. It is a class that is composed of a midterm and a final (both essays), nothing more, so it is an extremely light workload. However, I would advise anyone taking this to be really meticulous about your essays because I was surprised with how strictly they were graded! Professor Adelman is a really sweet guy and very helpful, but his exams are definitely graded a little strict. If you take this class, just make sure to spend a lot of time really making sure you understand the information because you will not do well in the class if you don't. But overall I think Professor Adelman is a very caring professor and the class is doable if you work hard.
