If he mentions politics in class (live class OR pre-recorded videos) once more, I'll lose it. Plus, he said "I'm gonna bring up current events in this class bc I don't think people think critically enough," but he says exactly what the big media says, w/ no explanations. In the online class, u put in more time than usual bc vids+2days class.
