What made it worse were the TAs, which is not Faith's fault, but still...her lectures could have helped us a lot more and she didn't have to write such ridiculous essay prompts. Don't take.",

She isn't the greatest lecturer and many times I felt like she was talking down to us a little bit, but overall I really liked this class.  We read some very interesting books and the papers weren't that hard.",
