CollegeHonestly I was quite lost throughout this class; however, the criteria is very straightforward. The reading is heavy and confusing, but her lectures are pretty clarifying. The professor essentially tells you the exact questions that will be on the midterm/ final and she offers guidance on your paper if you seek it. An easy A if you put in effort.
Amazing class. One final and one midterm that she pretty much gives you the questions for. One final paper. Easy A and great teacher
At least two readings every week that are pretty dense but she'll try to break them down during lecture! The topics she presented throughout the course were kind of hard to understand but if you ever expressed confusion she would do her best to explain! Her midterm and final exam are very easy. One final essay as well (not too difficult).
She's nice but her lectures are very confusing - especially at the start. The language barrier does not help either. If you ask questions, she will answer and - she does want you to succeed, but the texts are difficult. The midterms and finals are ridiculously easy though. Final paper is very vague in instructions and much more difficult.
Professor Vagt is very elegant and caring. She gives inspiring lectures and you will learn a lot from her. TA s are also very nice and caring. An easy A if you go to the lecture and do the readings. Overall an amazing learning experience.
She's very passionate about the subject and expects you do the readings, but she doesn't make your life too difficult. Go to her office hours! I learned so much from her during those talks and she offers genuine help. If you do the readings and write well it should be an easy A.
