So glad that I took scan 40w as my writing II. If you are someone interested in Scandinavian culture and the story of Odin, Thor, giants and dragons, this is a perfect class for you. A lot of readings but all writing II have readings and trust me, this is probably the most interesting reading you've ever read for classes. She really cares about students and loves what she is teaching. Papers were fairly graded and be sure to always talk to your TA. There were required iclicker questions each time at the beginning of the class about the assigned reading, so be sure to read ahead of time and not late to class. She only counts 15/20 of these questions.
Please take it. It's such a great experience.

I took Scand 40W and really enjoyed the class. The readings are very interesting and the classes give a good recap and give students a better understanding of the course. We had 3 essays which accounted for our entire grade, and the grading was lenient. What was a little annoying was the i-clicker questions at the beginning of every class which was based directly on the readings assigned, so we had to show up for class on time. This class was overall very enjoyable and intriguing.
