Anderson is amazing. Lectures are easy to follow and very interesting. Whole course is graded on a midterm, essay, and then a final which optional if you did well on the midterm and had good attendance. Take good notes in lecture because they help for the midterm. Overall, amazing class, wish I could take it again.

Graded only on 1 test and paper. If you did good on midterm and paper, you didn't have to take the final. Honestly, I think you can get away with not doing the readings as long as you go to lecture bc he summarizes it all during class. Attendance is mandatory but it's only worth 1% of your grade. He's a wise guy and has so many stories to tell tho.

This class was a favorite for me. I'm so glad I took his class and got to engage with Capital in the way I did (which is super necessary to doing well). My mind was definitely opened and it has led to future intellectual curiosity. This class is amazing and I think Kevin does a great job making Marx understandable and relevant to today.

This professor is absolutely terrific. Lectures were boring yes, but the review sessions before the tests/paper were 10/10 helpful and informative. I did really well on the paper and midterm so I didn't have to take the final and finished with an A. Overall, it was a very easy course, I learned a lot about Marx, & I would definitely take him again!

This professor is a caring professor, but lectures are boring. He gets sidetracked with some topics. He does care about his students. There is a midterm, paper, and final exam. If you do well on the midterm then you don't have to take the final exam, but the paper is still left.

This was a great class! His lectures aren't the most fun but they are not mandatory. There's only 1 paper and midterm with an optional final. He isn't a tough grader so as long as you did the readings, you'll be fine! Offers the entire class to write them letters of rec :')
