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