CollegeI could not understand the professor during lectures. It was really confusing what information I should actually know. For me, there was too much reading. I didn't particularly enjoy the topics either.
This class was easy as long as you read the material. I attended one lecture because his slides were useless, but I still passed the class. If you have a good TA it will make the class a lot easier.
It's difficult to understand anything he says because he mumbles everything and gets irritable with questions, but the class itself isn't too hard if you read the material. You might do better if you're interesting in the material. He also spends too much time on things irrelevant to the course
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.
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.
Probably one of the worst lecturers I've had. He really just rambles the entire class, very often not about the reading assigned that week. Midterm and final are both short answer, so you do need to actually do the reading. Apparently he grades based on if your answers matched up what he talked about in lecture, but I never went and got an A.
