He said he's retiring, but also said he might come back to volunteer teach a class. If you are in the future and see that he is teaching a class, take it! The best kind of old soul out there, extremely knowledgeable and personable. Wish I took more classes with him!

Professor Reynolds is genuinely kind and so passionate about what he teaches which makes learning the material that much more enjoyable and interesting. He is someone with such an interesting life story and so many amazing stories from his field work. Definitely would recommend taking his class and talking to him about his career/interests.

Professor Blurton had interesting lectures, and I enjoyed hearing what she had to say, but it seems like she really did not understand the subtext of a lot of books. Reading the books myself did not match at all with what she said. The final exam also requires so much studying- make sure you actually read the texts or it'd be near impossible.

Prof Reynolds gives a lot of extra credit opportunities so if you aren't doing pass/no pass I would recommend doing the effort for extra credit to easily get an A or A+. He also says what to study for the midterm/final. Technically attendance isn't mandatory but there were pop quizzes in some of the lectures. Attendance was mandatory for section.

Very standard GE. Pretty interesting class and not to hard. Lots of EC opportunities, and theres a review for the midterm and final. Attendance isn't mandatory but there are pop quizzes although he does like to indirectly tell you if there will be one next class. Wants everyone to do well and has pretty interesting content. Would take again.

Make sure to attend class, as she doesn't post what the class covered online. Blurton is super nice and her class is relatively straightforward, but the content is pretty boring and it was difficult to pay attention sometimes. Note down/remember a few main points for each topic/text covered and you should be fine.
