  • I would not recommend this class. There are two exams worth 50% total. She will sometimes upload the readings (~40 pages sometimes) the day before class. There are pop quizzes to ensure you did the reading - they are easy, but keeping on top of how many readings she assigns its difficult when you have other courses. She will assign you 80 or more pages for a week sometimes.

  • i just took this for my breadth requirements ngl but it was really interesting! there were no assignments, just a midterm and final in class time. i found her multiple choice questions pretty tricky but manageable! attendance and participation make up a good chunk of your mark. just do the readings, show up to class, and raise your hand every now and then and it'll be fine!
