Weekly discussion posts and journal entry assignments. A lot of assigned reading but I got by just by attending class. Two lectures with alternative healing methods which is what another post on here mentioned with the maracas lol. Out of my comfort zone, but an enjoyable experience if you have an open mind. No exams, just a final project

This is not a class, it is a therapy circle. From shaking a maraca for 2 hours to being reprimanded for stating opinions and trying my hardest, this class made me ask myself the question: What am I playing this high of a tuition for?

Little guidance was given on assignments, and lectures were unnecessarily overcomplicated and confusing. Prof Nihn is passionate and kind, and I'd highly recommend going to her office hours. However, I often felt like she lacked the ability to explain things in a straightforward way, especially in class. Overall would not recommend for a GE.

I loved Professor Ninh so much, her lectures were so interesting and the material we covered was so cool. She was a tough grader on the close reading assignments but left great feedback on how to improve your work. Definitely do the readings and participate in class, it will make the course 100x better.

Dont' take it. Not an easy GE at ALL. The TAs graded all assignments centered around a B. Not a GPA booster class at all. Tons of reading. Terrible experiences

Having a passion for the literature makes this class a 5. Prof is very nice cares about what she teaches. Short quiz in section every week with 4 writing assignments making up your grade (with an optional final!). TA grades everything. Overall, it is an easy GE with a nice prof who is not strict-- and you can't go wrong with that.
