The material of this course is fine. My complaint is that the flow of the course and the way things are assigned makes me want to drop out. A 10 page midterm with the prompt posted a week before?? We have an assignment due in 3 days at midnight and the prompt is nowhere to be found. There's no upload link for hw due tomorrow. Some of us have lives!

Professor Holdrege was super caring and addressed a lot of the concerns I had throughout the quarter. The material is interesting and she is clearly very passionate about it. Lectures were sometimes slow, but very informative. Grade really depends on your TA. You have to put work into the online assignments and essays, so not the easiest GE.

She seems nice enough i guess but the course i took with her was a complete nightmare. Terrible lecturer and organizational skills, the flow of the class made no sense, no feedback or grades to go off of. This was a gigantic waste of time and i feel DUMBER for having taken a course with this clueless professor.

Cannot describe how much this professor infuriated me the entire quarter. I understand that we spent this quarter in a pandemic, but if that gives students no excuse, it gives her no excuse either. 10 page essay due in one week. During global outrage. 200+ pages of reading a week. Lectures always late. Pure disregard for our time and mental health.

Midterm/Final Essay (7 pages/10 pages). Two website assignments (4 pages each). She is honestly the most boring, convoluted professor I've had. Couldn't stand going to lecture but maybe it's interesting if you like religious studies. Good thing is that the class fills lots of requirements.

sweet lady. she encourages participation and is nice enough to hold review sessions for the class. She can talk all night long, but will give you all of the necessary information you need for the final essays. Though I am not interested by this topic, I enjoyed her enthusiasm and passion for the subject.
