Very good professor who is genuinely interested in hearing students' opinions on discussion questions. Homework is kind of lengthy with readings and a question to answer, but you only have to do 12/20 to get full credit on the homework grade. There are a few papers, a midterm, and a final that are not very hard and graded easily. He gives you a study guide with the exact terms/questions that will be on the exam. He takes attendance in every class for the participation grade. Definitely recommend taking this class as it's interesting and pretty easy to get a good grade in.

Great professor. Weekly readings are not that bad because he goes over the content in class. Class is more like a discussion than a lecture with lots of student participation and engagement (so not just talking at you). He has a sense of humor and often makes self-deprecating jokes. A few short papers, mid-term, and final are the only assignments. He gives you a study guide for the exams which is really helpful. Responsive to email and understanding of student circumstances. Would take another class with him.
