Yes, there is quite a bit of reading and discussion based on it. However, if you show up for class and participate in discussion , pay attention it helps quite a bit on exams. Wish I could have him for every class",

He assigns a lot of books but I just read the sparknotes and still got a good grade. Craig has a lot of guests come in and plays a lot of music and movies. Always go to movie nights! The movies are not that great but the pizza is.",

If you actually come to school to learn, you will.  Make sure to meet him outside of classes as well-- he's one who will actually listen to you.",
