The lectures are amazing, and you can tell she loves what she does and is very knowledgeable about her subject. I love how she outlines the lecture as I handwrite my notes. She doesn't go too fast and shows videos. The only hard thing was that the grading criteria weren't very clear among TAs. Readings are necessary for getting a good grade imo

Lectures were engaging and the work was not too difficult. Only 3 essays, no tests. Lots of reading for the essays but manageable. I really liked this class

Excellent lecturer as you can tell she's passionate about the content. Heavy amount of weekly readings but professor breaks them down during lecture and content is super interesting. Assignments mainly consist of 3 papers written throughout the course.

I honestly loved listening to Professor O'Connor's lectures. She's very passionate about what she is teaching and the content is very interesting, I was rarely bored. There are a lot of readings assigned each week but they're pretty manageable and the essays are straightforward and not difficult if you attend lecture.

I really liked this class, I learned a lot. The essay topics were interesting and topical, including the final project. The content is difficult to absorb and can be time-consuming, but if you're interested in the subject you will greatly enjoy this class.

Very good lecturer. Clear that she is well-educated, especially on the topics she teaches. Always easy to follow, engages very well with the class, and is very kind. Will answer questions in depth and make sure students understand. Readings are assigned weekly, but she breaks them down in lecture so that we truly understand. Highly recommend.
