Comparative analysis of population problems in the Third World and those in more developed societies. Focus is on social factors and their relationship to population. Topics of special interest include population as a variable in development, Third World fertility, population policy, family planning and abortion.

  • The subject material was kind of dry as it dealt a lot with the history of the religions but the class itself was still rather interesting. He's weirdly nitpicky in terms of structure on the essays so make sure you follow the Chicago style guide to the letter. His tests were almost alarmingly easy if you actually showed up for class and paid attention but that was nice because he doesn't try to trick you or anything. One thing to note though is to pay attention to statistics because you will be required to remember specifics. It's a great class to take if you're interested in religion though. Totally worth it.
