Professor Bodiford is extremely knowledgeable on the subject material (he had to miss one lecture because he was requested to give a presentation in France to present at an international conference on Buddhist studies). There is a decent amount of assigned reading, but it isn't exorbitant, and as long as you at least skim the material you won't have any trouble in the class. However, the reading is actually really interesting if you have the time. He outlines exactly what he expects on his exams, which are mostly short answer and one essay question, and his grading is very fair. Most importantly, get Tyler Cann as your TA. He is amazing, and he makes the material so easy to digest. So whatever you do, get Tyler. Overall, fantastic, easy, interesting GE. I got an A and the material has actually come in handy with future employers who have revealed that seeing this class on my transcripts made me stand out.

Spring 2018 - This class was listed under Prof. Bodiford, but for our term, grad student Matthew Hayes taught the course. He was very clear and helpful, and the workload was not too bad. There are 3 essays, a midterm, participation, and a final, and all of them were very doable. I would definitely recommend this class for your writing II requirement!
