Don't bother taking if just for GE. Just rambles on for an hour for lecture, section is utterly useless and unless you get the good TA (Charlene) you're going to spend many hours on this class a week. Professor and TAs have no clue what they're talking about, this is just an abstract class with no rubrics or guidelines.

Professor Akudinobi is a sweet professor, however a lot of the time in lectures it is a bit hard to follow what's going on since there's no lecture slides and he sometimes sidetracks. Apart from that the readings aren't difficult and as long as you do them and go to section you'll be fine.

Very random lectures. Spends about 50% of lecture off topic. The TA's are really tough graders too (for no reason). For a GE, its definitely not worth it. It isn't hard material to learn, but it feels super random and disorganized. I do not recommend. I would steer clear unless you are ready to suck up to the TAs!

He's a great professor, but I wouldn't recommend him for anyone who isn't a decent writer.
