JUST DON'T TAKE IT

As one of the reviewers stated below, it's 4 essays over the entire quarter, each one 3 pages long.
Lectures are generally boring, just with the professor babbling on about philosophical stuff, so you can skip those to save you the boredom.
The textbooks are mostly just classical novels you can get for a couple of bucks, and are really only needed for citing in your essays.
For my TA, I chose Jared, who was pretty laid back and was okay with you using electronics during section.
As for my essays, I started/finished each one within a day of the dates they were due and got 17/19/19/19 out of 20, with just a simple quote from each of the books needed for each essay.
Take this class if you want yourself an easy A provided you have a good TA to grade the essays.

Overall, it was an interesting class and Panagia is an engaging lecturer. His lectures do not explicitly link back to the papers, so you need to do some research and thinking on your own to answer the prompts. This should've been an easy A, but my TA had ridiculous expectations for the papers compared to other TAs and the questions on his pop quizzes are unreasonable. I still cannot fathom why he thinks we need to memorize quotes or minor details from the texts in order to show that we understand the main contentions of the authors (which is all we really need to get out of the texts in order to write the papers). Do NOT get Naveed as your TA. He is not only unreasonable, but also unprofessional. I went to his office hours and he was so distraught from the presidential election results that he did not even attempt to properly address my questions. Complete waste of my time.
