Winter 2020 - This is literally the most ridiculous thing i've ever seen in my life. The class goes over a few 3-4 prehistoric architecture projects ( think huts and caves) and the lecture material is light, doesn't cover anything in depth, and honestly never answers the questions. I guess because it's a prehistoric period nothing is known for sure, but it bugged me so much whenever the professor would ask a question from the class and go on to say "yeah, i dont know it either because no one knows and we can only assume stuff". whatever, so the lecture is already freaking dry as it is. THen comes the glorious reading responses that are to be based on ur reading of some PhD LEVEL reading material that revolves around the ethical philosophy of preservation culture, and monumentality, and elaborate descriptions of contemporary engineering projects, which are all very difficult to understand ESPECIALLY when literally none of that was dicussed in class. Like, I could just read a random difficult architecture article online and decide to analyse it on my own but im not gonna pay a 60k a year to do that like what? Isn't the lecture supposed to dive into the reading responses or at least in the very least be in the same range of topics? Imagine learning to add 2 and two in class, and having to do calculus for a homework. Ha no
