    "comment": "He is very knowledgable, well-spoken and his lectures are intriguing. After exams, you can get some points back by doing a \"report\" about your wrong answers. He takes feedback on exams, so if someone points out a mistake, or if over 75% of the students get one wrong, he will regrade that question. However, some readings are long and time-consuming.",

Lots of reading that can be exhausting, but if you're interested in culture, it'll be interesting by default. There are 3 exams, a final paper, a discussion section, & attendance. Exams are open-note & online, so take good ones! Overall easy, informative, good class. ",
