Not a bad class overall, weekly quizzes/writing assignments were all easy and you finish with a group project on an institutional reform. Mandatory attendance at lecture was a bit of a bummer though

We had weekly peer reviews which weren't too helpful considering everyone was lost. Entire grade is pretty much comprised of midterm and final, the midterm basically being a draft of your final. Be besties with your TA and reach out for help. Don't wait until the last week to write 25 pages like I did!

This class sucked a lot but I though that Prof Stoll made it as understandable and clear as possible. The organization of the class made everything really accessible and I am really glad I took this hard class with her. Highly recommend!

Professor Stoll is a good professor, but this course is not easy. She made us weekly peer review which was not helpful because everyone was confused. Every assignment consisted of material for the final research paper but the material was taught with examples instead of actual definitions. Doing the "labor you choose" is what really helped.

She is very organized. The class it self is very difficult and a lot is expected of you. Half of your grade in this class is based off on one final paper that is very difficult. As a transfer student, this class was harder and more stressful because your advancement into full major is based solely off of this class.

Incredibly obsessed with controlling every aspect of the course to the point of having quotas for office hours, assigning 3-4 assignments every week as well as a term paper that accounts for 60% of the final grade. Lots of work, students asking questions just for the sake of asking them because of the mindboggling counterintuitive grading policy.
