CollegeI spent countless hours doing independent research to cumulate academic citations which the papers require and many more piecing the assignments together. The papers are structured based on the professor's preferences and will not mirror any paper you have written before. Additionally, don't expect to receive timely grading or proper feedback.
This class is super interesting, but it does have a lot of reading. Prof. Wohl is a little boring to listen to but the material is still engaging and relevant. Attendance is taken randomly. The papers are only 4-5 pages, and you choose your topics so you can focus on your interests. My grade will probably be NG due to the strike but I expect an A.
Idk if anyone's going to look here when deciding to do a thesis, but thought I'd do this in case. Wohl is an amazing professor! She is so genuinely caring and accommodating - she definitely made writing a long thesis less overwhelming. She can even be too nice sometimes (if that's possible). I would recommend doing a thesis if you're on the fence.
i don't get why she has bad reviews prof wohl is a really good prof! this class was super interesting and she was very organized in her content and expectations! there were only four papers, no final and sometimes she'd take random attendance with a short question to answer at the end of class. super easy!!
I have no idea why there are bad reviews! This class was very interesting and although she is a bit monotone, the lecture content was engaging and she encouraged a lot of class discussion. I highly recommend this class if you are interested in pop culture/art. She is also very sweet and accommodating!
She seems very nervous and is always twirling her hair. 4 papers and she is a tough grader. although she seems like a nice person I would not take her again. You also never know when she will take attendance so you must be in class
