Winter 2021 - i absolutely loved this class! i took it as my writing 2 requirement and i was initially scared about the workload but this was super manageable. tbh i spent muchhh more time interacting with my TA instead of Professor Levitz, but she was still a great professor as well. i would often just watch the recordings of lecture because it wasn’t participation heavy at all and it was easier to watch sped up lol. you can also scrape by without going to lecture if u just do the readings. the course material is covered some interesting short stories, we also read Passing and Frankenstein. i wrote 3 papers for this class, and the final paper combines one of the previous essays and has you compare it with a new story. there were a few discussion posts throughout the quarter but not every week. i think the most important aspect of this class was the discussion sections. you definitely need to come to discussion prepared but they are well guided and the TAs were pretty chill. i participated in discussion a decent amount and i was worried i might get an A- in the class based on my essay grades, but the TA basically confirmed i would get an A regardless bc of participation. regardless, this was a super cool class and i definitely recommend it! if you have to write essays to graduate you might as well write about something interesting

MUSIC HISTORY 61 not 60:MUSIC HISTORY OF LA Definitely take this class if you are looking for an interesting and EASY GE. She is a really nice professor that cares a lot about her students and always asks her students how they are feeling. Even though I did not talk a lot in the class I would encourage anyone taking it to talk because she really likes to hear her students input. She gives a study guide right before the midterm and final so thats all you have to study to get an A on the midterm and final. As for the two essays see your TA for help and you will probably get an B+ or A. Get LAUREL!! She is amazing! Hope that helps. Goodluck!
