EACS5 . Wallace V A 2 Months Ago

Prof Wallace is very sweet and knowledgeable about Buddhism. I really enjoyed her lectures and her stories from personal experience, although the slides are sometimes filled with information that are not always necessary and can get lengthy. She gives a list of questions before exam (about 25-300) and 12 of those will be on it, so very doable.

Professor Wallace seems like a very sweet person, very enthusiastic and class was easy as all slides were posted. Attendance taken every lecture but short and pretty easy tests.

She is a real sweetheart. The class was sort of different than I had expected, but I really enoyed it. She was super accomodating of students, and seemed to want everyone to do well with the assigned readings/materials.

The topics in this class have the potential to be super interesting, but are ruined by the reading and instruction. Vesna manages to take incredibly interesting topics and make them uninteresting. The class is super easy though which I guess is a plus side, but it's the most boring class i've every taken and I was just disappointed ,

Vesna is a great person, very kind and patient. Grades tough on your essays though since this class is cross listed with a grad level course. The readings are outrageously long there's no way you can finish them but you can bs the 1 pg reading response for each class. 8-10 pg essay midterm and final. Long boring lectures and occasional guest speake

Professor is passionate and knowledgeable about the topic. Topic is fairly advanced. A lot of reading. Cant really BS the papers without doing the readings. Don't need to attend class, but it help make the readings make more sense. Grade is 10% reading reports, 10% guest lecture notes, 40% 8pg midterm paper, 40% 2 x 4pg (8pgs total) final papers.
