Heavy readings, but interesting, easy lectures to listen to, on Thursdays halfway through the lecture you work in small groups. An essay was due every week but it's so short that it only took an hour or so. Extra credit opportunities and overall easy nice class!

Mr. Alagona is a professor you wish you could have for every class. He is very inspirational and the way he uses lectures, the discussions and the information itself, is truly a beautiful learning experience. There is no textbook so you primarily read articles of real world events and relate those scenarios to key topics learned in class.

Pete is a great prof, very knowledgeable and has a very calm demeanor. He seems like he cares a lot for his students. He supplemented his materials with different articles which were relevant to what we learned in class and where we (our current society and loc) are situated. I enjoyed attending lecture and reading the different materials.

Amazing teacher genuinely if you get the chance to have him take it. He gives great feedback in office hours and the class was easy. He's so smart and well prepared, go see him outside of lecture if you can!

I adored my time in this class. He used a combination of readings, books, and podcasts to explore a lot of interesting topics and really listened to student feedback. He worked really closely the TAs (who are also wonderful), and forced us to broaden our perspectives. The honors section was just as fantastic and I really learned so much from him.
