Vesna was a really great professor. She was really knowledgable, and she was enthusiastic about the topic. I would take a class with her again if I had the opportunity to.

Lovely professor! Made 8am worth it! Doesn't post lectures online so class is definitely mandatory. Gives out a study guide for the two midterms and the final. It contains questions and as long as you memorize the answers, you're good. Chooses 10 of the exact questions from the study guide and puts them on the test. 1 final take home essay.

2 writing midterms about Buddhism which just consists of 10 questions and 1 essay. Study the study guide and memorize it and you will be good. 1 final take home essay must answer 2 prompts. Section require weekly writings of the books assigned. Class attendance isn't required but would recommend to understand hard topics and post powerpoints online

Prof Wallace is great! She posts her powerpoints online and doesn't take attendance, but I recommend going to lecture because they're helpful and interesting. 2 midterms exactly like the study guide, weekly section summaries on the reading, 2 3-page take-home final essays and extra credit. She's also incredibly helpful and sweet in office hours!

From the first midterm it seems like the class would be easy but it gets so difficult. The TA's are hard to get direct answers from, lectures are boring, it's really hard to understand the professor, and no lectures are posted online. Very difficult to get full points on midterms because there's so much info to memorize.

Maybe it was just my TA, but this class was not as easy as people made it out to be. The lectures are no longer posted online, she does not make any effort to make the topic even just a tad bit interesting.. I hated going to this class.
