Very reading heavy (40+ pgs a week), gives good essay feedback, participation is one of the most important things. Also offers extra credit.",

The course itself has a ton of readings so be prepare for that since all discussions in class are related to the readings she assigns you to do for that week. In total, there are three major papers that impacts your grade in the class and some short assignments on the way as well.",

There is a lot of readings for this class, but are necessary for discussions and the three big projects you complete throughout the semester. Best and most informative class I ever took.",
