Professor Tober is relatable and respectable. Several rules apply to the two essays in the class, but they are very doable. No midterm, just a cumulative final exam with a detailed study guide provided weeks in advance. Group discussion and assignments are weekly with your table group about the assigned readings and due by the end of the class. :)

Class was fairly easy, if you memorize the key terms and concepts at the end of the chapters you will be fine. She's pretty nice and accommodating and it's clear she really loves the subject.

Heavy reading class. Weekly quizzes on the textbook material. Lecture material is different but important, too. iClicker for attendance. Sometimes a lecture can get boring because it feels like "common sense." TAs are nice, mine just summarized. One final small group project. The midterm and final were the same format, but not the easiest.

Dr. Tober is overall a good professor. She cares a lot about the subject. The content is simple, but she makes is slightly harder than it has to be. Work: Read 1 chapter per week (~40 pgs). Complete 1 quiz per week (~10 q's multi-choice). Midterm + Final = 50%. To succeed: Text-to-speech chapters. Memorize terms. Review quiz before midterm.

Definitely recommend if looking for an easy but fun GE. Subject matter was interesting and engaging but was very surface level as she covers a wide range of topics. Easy midterm and final worth 25% each. You'll be fine if you do the weekly readings and attend lecture. Textbook is $1 per chapter and she assigns a total of 9 chapters.

Tara is an amazing professor who cares deeply about her material. She is wonderful and keeps her lectures super engaging. The class doesnt have much work and is pretty easy overall. Definitely recommend taking this class.
