Quality 4/5Difficulty 2/5
Course name in class search is very misleading, but it still turned out to be an interesting class. There are three papers, a book report, and a presentation, besides that, there's no homework. There's a lot of reading, but you can definitely get by with skimming. Know the concepts, take good notes. Professor is very nice and approachable.

Great professor with high standards and interesting lectures. Has a really good BS filter for papers, so you actually have to make them good.

The class was interesting and so were most of the readings. Her quizzes are horrible, which I think she realizes and may change for future classes. I missed class a couple times and failed the quizzes, but I still got an AB.

She's a pretty cool professor harsh grader on papers so make sure no grammatical errors and you put in your own ideas/thoughts about a topic. A lot of reading at the beginning of the semester. Take home exams are super nice
