Lots of readings decently easy material. The class was interesting. Forced attendence was a huge part of grade and the teacher got angry at people who were just there for attendance.

Prof Wallace is very sweet and knowledgeable about Buddhism. I really enjoyed her lectures and her stories from personal experience, although the slides are sometimes filled with information that are not always necessary and can get lengthy. She gives a list of questions before exam (about 25-300) and 12 of those will be on it, so very doable.

Vesna was a really great professor. She was really knowledgable, and she was enthusiastic about the topic. I would take a class with her again if I had the opportunity to.

From the first midterm it seems like the class would be easy but it gets so difficult. The TA's are hard to get direct answers from, lectures are boring, it's really hard to understand the professor, and no lectures are posted online. Very difficult to get full points on midterms because there's so much info to memorize.

Maybe it was just my TA, but this class was not as easy as people made it out to be. The lectures are no longer posted online, she does not make any effort to make the topic even just a tad bit interesting.. I hated going to this class.

I loved this class. Interesting, friendly TAs, and great professor. Vesna is sweet and makes it clear she won't trick or surprise you. She gives you questions before the midterms and picks 10 of them to be on the tests (plus extra credit). Know the answers to those questions and you'll get an A+ like I did
