typically I don't care enough to write reviews since its pretty jester, however, not a single word mr. (his name is TOS???) speaks is necessary. textbook example of why college degrees are looked at as meaningless.

Quality 1/5Difficulty 4/5
Lectures are rambly and difficult to find what he deems important. Picks and chooses random pieces of information from ONLY his class to make it harder than need be. He seems more focused on making sure you learn how he views various topics than actually understanding the material he is presenting.

He goes on long tangents that make little sense. I found the class very boring and hard to follow. He cussed me out in the last lecture too.

It is the worst course I have ever taken In My Life, lots of mumbling, notes cannot even help you get high scores with random and confusing text questions. No chance to make up for any mistake made in previous tests, damage your grade forever. DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS, my life gets miserable with him. Avoid him at all cost.

Quality 3/5Difficulty 3/5
Interesting content, pretty manageable if you show up to lectures (mb with an energy drink or coffee), at the very least skim the readings, and watch the documentaries. Dr. Jew is definitely more old school than I think a lot of people are used to, but if you can't adapt to different teaching styles than this class is the least of your worries.

do not take this class. he spends half the class mentioning random anecdotes of past students or people that he's met, he repeats himself a lot, is either yelling or whispering, and assigns not just one 8 page paper, but another 5-7 page paper 2 weeks later for one part of the final.
