CLASS IS NOT ON \"ASIAN\" LANGUAGES AND CULTURES, but focuses on topics relating to Indian culturereligion. Branches such as hinduism, buddism,  indonesian drums and vietnamese literature",

Lectures are just him speaking and you writing down whatever you think might be important.. Not as interesting of a class as I had hoped. Discussions are also irrelevant and waste of time but attending is mandatory.",

He got better as the class progressed but still has work to do. He is very monotone and speaks way too softly. Overall, he is a nice guy and genuinely interested in the material.",
