RGST71 . 1 Year, 7 Months Ago

Professor Busto is very passionate about what he teaches. You don't have to go to lecture, but 1. he doesn't post the slides until a few days before the exams, and 2. is a great and entertaining lecturer. You have to do a fair amount of studying for each exam, but if you go to lecture and pay attention, the study guide will come naturally.

Busto is an amazing professor who knows how to connect with students. He keeps his class chill and work is only a few essays based on lecture material. Would take again just to hang out.

The course material is interesting but busto's "counterdisciplinary" style of textual criticism is strange and biased at best.

ASAM71 . 3 Years Ago

While Professor Busto is likable enough, his presentation of the course material is biased and does not leave room for open debate. He puts forward non-objective claims without allowing for a two-sided discussion in class. He tends to jump to conclusions.

Enjoyable class. Great lecturer with a great voice, too! I learned a little bit of myself and how western cultures have great influence in how we perceive Asian cultures and religion in America.
