This man is incredible. Really, it is difficult to put into words. This class makes you think, and I hope that is what we want in all of our classes. It is not difficult - although there are a lot of places we have to go to write critiques (such as LACMA Museum, Santa Monica) but the TA's are incredible, all of them, and this class is truly inspiring. It is a great pleasure learning from Gere, one of the wisest and kindest person I have ever met. Although you may not have to take WAC 1, you must take a class with Professor Gere (whether you are a WAC major or not!).
