1 midterm 1 final and three writing assignments. She only gave us 2 writing assignments this time though. Midterm and final were supposed to be in person but was changed to online. Pretty easy class, but the content can be very confusing and seem out of place. Listen to what she has to say in class and take notes and you should be fine.

If you need an easy writing GE this would be a good choice, but you do have to actually go to this "class" twice a week, walking or biking or commuting some other way, only to leave after 30 minutes sometimes. Wasted minutes too bc nothing is ever said in the class that isnt already explained literally on day 1. Feels like a fever dream most days

Personally think Professor is having a great deal of stuff outside of her life rn.Very sweet and cares deeply about the subject but the lectures lack personality and are repetitive.Significantly contrast to some previous reviews. shes sweet and you will likely receive a good grade,but is a tough ask to go to but most reviews seem to disagree so idk

I took this class as an elective with a friend because we thought it would be cool based on the course description, but it was actually nothing but garbage media clips that demonstrated essentially nothing about anything. Everybody was just okay with it because it's easy, but this is objectively the worst class I have ever taken. Not even a class

Completely fake class. Least legitimate thing I've ever taken, high school and probably middle school included. Insulting that this is a university class. It's a free 100% but if you care even slightly about your time or about education as an idea, don't do this to yourself. Don't fall for the interesting course description on GOLD like I did.

This class is fine, but is nothing to write home about. Lecture consisted nearly entirely of summaries of the texts we read for class and nearly no interpretation, and students were at times discouraged from providing interpretation due to a lack of cultural understanding. That being said, McClain is a delight and cares about her students' success.
