Exams are based on random facts from random lectures and readings, but as long as you actually do the assignments you can phone it in and get a passing grade, which if you are taking his English classes for GE like me, is all you really need. I like him otherwise, good lecturer and seems like a nice guy.

This class was a lot of reading with some randomly specific facts that you were required to know on tests, which was tricky. But hey, its Hiltner, you gotta love the guy.

I love him. He's an icon. Only 1 midterm and a final and the final isn't even during finals week (don't trust what gold says). Only homework is a lot of "mandatory" readings and 1 documentary per week that you have to write a relatively well-thought-out comment for. Final isn't cumulative and you can just rewatch his lectures in 2x to study.

Ken was amazing, definitely would recommend taking his class. One midterm, one final exam, both were 60 multiple choice questions. Exams were fairly easy as long as you paid attention to the lectures. Lecture attendance was taken by two iClicker polls.
