I'm sorry but this class is so sad. After 3 years in the IDS major, I was really looking forward to taking the final senior seminar. Because you need to have completed all the other IDS core classes, you don't have much choice as to which quarter to take this class. If you can, do NOT take 191 with Apter. I fell asleep so many times. He fell asleep during my final presentation. He reads from the books we all already read from homework, making class a waste of time. But participation is 50% of your grade, so you still have to go... The rubric was super vague. 50% participation, 50% final exam (which he had no guidelines for, essay or presentation or mulitmedia).

Go take this class with a more interesting professor. If you must take it with Apter, good luck. I've heard he's nice and actually knowledgeable in office hours.
