Prof mumbles everything. Worst class I've ever taken, material is dated and difficult to study. Kitler would get irritable when we would ask questions about midterm/his grading. Don't take this class.

Stopped attending lecture because I couldn't understand him and we weren't talking about course material. If you do the readings you'll be fine. Midterm and final are online, and the one paper is 1800 words. If you're interested in the covered material, you might like it more than I did. The class is easy but boring.

If you want to do well in his class just do the readings. He specifically expects you to use quotes from course material to back up answers on exams. However, I found it extremely difficult to pay attention in his lecture only because he is difficult to understand and often sounds like he is mumbling. He is an ok professor.

It's not difficult to pass the course as long as you do the reading and attend section. His lectures are a bit of a snooze though. They're pretty meandering. He even seemed oddly confused when asked about some of the content and exam requirements. The course was still interesting. Just have a good TA and note his main points during class.

The lectures were extremely difficult to sit through and I learned more from independent reading and my section discussions. Go to section it will help you a lot. I barley went to lecture and still got an A, but I believe that grading depends heavily on the TA you have.
