Interesting lectures, but a lot of materials, try to learn definitions right away because you will need it for midterm

She assigns a lot of readings, but you can honestly get by without reading majority of the time. She covers most of it in lecture, but I would focus on the terms she doesn't go over in class because the midterm consists of a lot of memorization of terms and information. Both exams had very thorough review sheets that told you the essay prompts.

the lectures were sooooo boring and the midterm + final were not easy imo. i did so well in this class just because of all the extra credit opportunities.

Literally didn't attend a single lecture after the midterm and free balled the final by just studying on my own and i genuinely think i learned more on my own than with her

So boring and dreaded her lectures she genuinely sounded like a mom lecturing her kids about how she used to ride dinosaurs to school or something

I REALLY loved this class at the beginning, I always found myself really engaged by her lectures and the pieces she chose to show but... I did mediocre on the essay part of the midterm and now my final grade is very uncertain. I would take the class but make sure to consult with your TA on everything because grading on essays is so specific
