  • This was a pretty easy class. 2 summary/critique papers (18% each), 4 reading responses (4% each), final presentation + presentation critiques (10%, 5%), and a final (33%). I personally didn't find the content to be overly interesting, but the assignments weren't very time-consuming and were also marked pretty easily. Overall, this course was okay; easy, but kinda boring if you aren't interested in the content.
