Lectures are extremely boring, include excessive readings of around 65-75 pages to read every week, and have very strict grading that makes it hard for people to get an A. Many people take it for the ethnic studies requirement, thinking it's a free A, but with Leah teaching it, it's the opposite.",

You got the exam bank before, so if you prepared, it was just regurgitating. Some interesting guest lecturers, though. Boring class, boring professor, but pretty easy. ",

The exams are free response 6 questions in 50, but she expects you to write a novel and pick out of her brain the exact example she wants. She gives pop quizzes during lecture, and discussions are mandatory.",

    "comment": "Professor Horowitz is passionate, but she ends up preaching her beliefs about the subject, which gets old fast. She should teach the concepts and ask students to draw their own conclusions. Basically she doesn't teach critical thinking; she teaches following someone else's (her) beliefs. It's easy to do well, though, just repeat whatever she says.",
