    "comment": "Professor Castro is an extremely nice person to talk to, and very passionate about the subject matter. I didn't pay much attention in class towards the latter half, but the workload is very manageable, at least for non-Comm B. While attendance was mandatory, many students ended up not coming with time. But that's not really Clinton's fault.",

    "comment": "Great guy. If you wanted to, you could totally scrape an A in this class without going to most of the classes, but if you have the time, I highly recommend that you attend lecture every day. They're super interesting, and it'll make the papers a lot easier. Also, find something to nerd out about and then go to office hours whenever you can.",

The class is graded on 3 papers and several in-class assignments. All are very easy. Each paper was returned promptly with specific and detailed feedback for improvement. ",

    "comment": "Seems like a nice, caring guy, though I never talked to him 1-on-1. The lecture is pointless, as he just discusses philosophy papers that students need to write papers about. Graded on 3 papers (3-4 pages) that are graded pretty easily, but can take a long time if you're new to philosophical writing. Pretty useless class IMO, but an easy A.",
