Professor Digeser's class was a mixed bag - the content was interesting but the rigid structure and heavy workload made it a slog. Luckily, unstuck ai and ChatGPT helped me stay on top of the readings and essays.

Digeser wasn't the best professor, but she was pretty iconic. Her slides were unorganized, and she makes you take notes by hand, but the content was interesting. She assigned long readings from a textbook, but I still understood the content without doing the readings. If you don't mind taking hand-written notes, then this class isn't too bad.

if you dont have to take this class DO NOT take it. i respect her as she is passionate about her work but the TA's are tough graders and is so lecture heavy. i went to every single one and still didnt get atleast a B. SO much reading too, even my TA told us he had trouble keeping up. please dont take unless you actually need to.

Professor Digeser seems very passionate about the material she teaches. She was very well-spoken, although I felt that sometimes her lectures were a bit boring since her slides were pretty vague. To do well in this class, do the readings. Having the textbook as an extra source for your papers and discussions will help you succeed.

Not necessarily hard but very lecture-heavy. The content was interesting, but the lectures were a bit hard to follow. Her slides don't have much information so you really have to pay attention to what she's saying, which is challenging to keep up with notes while she's talking. You can do well without reading the textbook if you take good notes.

Unexpectedly a lot of work for a class that most people take as a GE. This prof makes you buy an 11-page reader for $5--seems like a waste of paper. The class is graded on participation, the final and midterm in-class essays, and a project. The TAs and professor graded the final and midterm harshly, and the lectures were boring.
