He's insufferable to be around and is incredibly arrogant. I cannot count how many times he said he taught at Harvard. Also, don't take him unless you're incredibly far to the left. His whole class is about how bad jobs are. "BS jobs" by Graeber and "the case against work" by Danaher are main texts of the course. I'm quite liberal and it was insane

This class was pretty straightforward, two papers overall and a final paper revision on one at the end of the quarter. There are smaller essays leading up to these papers, which can become a fair bit of work but are overall helpful. Professor was a pretty cool guy who is obviously very passionate and knowledgable about writing.

Reading heavy. Writing heavy. Easy grader and opportunities to fix past papers for credit. Real-world concepts and lots of discussion. He's a cool guy but always working in groups or partners. Manageable workload but very passionateW
