The assignments and texts were unique. He's low-key and explains things really well. I improved my writing a lot.

He reads your work carefully and shows you how to ask deeper questions. Not too difficult and actually teaches you to write with lots of comments and how do basic research. Great if you want to choose and learn about a topic involving labor politics and environment and some other stuff.

Very interesting guy. I personally get along with him, but I can see why others don't like him. He has said some extreme stuff before, but I think he at least has knowledge/research to back him up. He gives good feedback, and you can recover if you do poorly early on (I did), and he is very transparent about improving if you show interest.

Stay away.

Pretty chill class with long but fascinating readings. He basically uses texts relevant for current events and politics and then encourages students to expand into their own research. Cool guy fun to talk to.

Reading load wasn't too bad. They're tough readings but super interesting and he's really good at coaching your writing. Gives revision chances and seemed pretty fair. Overall interesting. Passionate guy.
