McAuley is by far the most accommodating professor I've had during remote learning and goes out of his way to help bolster your final grade. Your grade is based on your performance on 3 papers that correspond with the 5 assigned books the readings are really engrossing, so you'll get a lot out of the class even if you're not an avid reader!

do not take this class. just save yourself. he does not explain anything

Unclear grading criteria, unorganized lectures, dont feel like I have a better understanding of content than I did before. Grade is based on 3 papers (one dropped). 5 books assigned but I only read two of them and I was fine.

Best professor I've had. He is knowledgeable on the topics he teaches and is very passionate about them! Took 100 & 169 and for both, there were 5 books to read over the quarter & you're graded on 3 papers. Class is discussion-based, no fluff work. He cares about his students and grants extensions with no questions asked. Take his class!!
