Surprisingly loved this class! Professor Elsky made the readings actually interesting and relatable even though they were written hundreds of years ago. Lectures more interesting if you do the readings. Take notes because the final is just what happens in lecture. Essay topics engaging and interesting. Good class, super sweet and passionate prof :)
