WOW was this class intense. You will never approach a perspective of sociology like this class. It is very unique, but requires so so so so so much brain work. The professor is very sweet and does his best to help us understand - he knows it is difficult. Your brain will feel heavy at the end of every class. He says its like "taking your brain to gym"! However, I do recommend this class because it is a very unique approach to sociological thought, you won't find anything like it!
