This class was a lot of work for just being a 3 credit course. Some readings were estimated to take 49 minutes. There is both a final exam and a final project which is an hour long podcast. Studying for core classes along with this final and project was very stressful. However, the professor is very interested in what he does which is appreciated.

Was looking forward to this course because of the folklore aspect, but there was none of it :( Prof is an odd dude who has knowledge but not in teaching. 100 level course and wanted to give us a 20 page paper assignment? Way too much work for very little points. Attendance is huge part of your grade so don't miss any classes! His TAs sucked too lol

Projects are pointless and take forever to complete. Attendance is required. Class is dumb, lots of way easier classes if you need a humanities credit.
