The class structure is set up very well and it's super easy to pass. Class lectures and content is interesting, but can get very boring if you aren't engaged, very you get what you give. Although straightforward and easy to pass, grading on papers is very harsh and it is difficult to score high. Based on your TA's, BEFRIEND THEM.

Korman is a great professor and lecturer, however, the class content itself is nowhere near as interesting as I thought it would be. It became repetitive after the first 2 weeks but attendance was mandatory. TA's can make or break your grade and outlook on this course, most TA's are harsh graders (get ready for B's on papers).

Wasn't that interesting of a class unless you really enjoy arguing. The grade was based on three papers, one of which (the lowest grade) gets dropped. Depending on the TA, papers could be easily graded or not. Finding out exactly what the TA wants before writing your papers matters a lot.

This class is really easy, but the grading is heavily based on essays. It is a really easy pass but really hard A. If you just take it for GE, recommend to choose pnp.
