CollegeBest professor I've had, but be aware attendance is crucial, she doesn't post the lecture slides and those r literally everything you need besides the readings. The exams are the same, just remember specific examples for the mini essays. Other than that, I loved how passionate and genuine she was. She's an amazing professor, 1000% recommend :)
She is extremely passionate about her work, kind hearted, caring, enthusiastic, I LOVED her as a person but I intended to take this class as an easy GE and it was NOT!!! So much reading and she does not post lecture slides, and grading is very exam heavy. Only take this class if you are truly passionate about the subject, but not for an easy GE :)
Lectures are dense and missing a lecture could lead to missing important information. She does not post lecture slides. Reading is mandatory but she assigns around 40 pages per week which sometimes comprise entire test questions. Contextual understanding and specific examples from readings/notes are required to score well. TA's 20% is uncertain.
Content was interesting. Lots of assigned reading. Sections were VERY helpful. 80% of your grade is two in class essays (midterm and final) and they're pretty tough graders, but an A is achievable as long as you stay engaged with the readings and lectures. Slides aren't posted so you can't really skip, but it was worth going to!
I loved this class!! It's honestly fairly easy to do well in if you just go to lecture. I didn't do half of the readings, but only missed like two lectures and have an A. There aren't any assignments except reading and midterm/final, and one other event write up. Worst part is she doesn't post slides but she's a very engaging professor
She has great intentions but she is not the most clear professor. Lectures the entire class, will not provide her slides to students, and assignsunrealistic amounts of reading. Grade is based on Final (40%) and Midterm (40%). 3 essays, closed notes, based on reading/lectures, in person. Good class, but not an easy class for a GE or to get a A in.
