Loved Paul's class. Like going to a really interesting history lecture that had a little bit of comm arts included. Don't even need to read the speeches, he said everything in lecture. 2 papers but the last one you can write on any speech you want which makes it more enjoyable. Easy blue book exams.

I have Paul for a TA in this class and he is great. I enjoy going to discussion because he is enthusiastic and you can tell that he really enjoys what he is talking about. He is very knowledgeable and helpful with papers. He is definitely one of my favorite TAs.

Hendrickson is incredible. He is funny and keeps the lectures interesting. The exams are blue book and are straight memorization but it's material that you will want to learn and understand.

Interesting class. He's a pretty good lecturer. Enough variation so you don't fall asleep. Sometimes lets us out early. Exams are long, but straight-forward. Essays are graded fairly. Overall, a good class.
