Lecture slides aren't typically posted to Canvas, so you will miss information and possibly an impromptu quiz if you don't go to lecture. This class is reading heavy and the readings are talked about in lecture and in section. In section, you're graded on participation. Be ready to do a lot; especially if it is for a GE.
This class is very heavy on readings and not the best choice for GE. Sections dive deep into the readings, so if you dont do the readings, you're cooked. Also, there are impromptu quizzes, so attendance is technically mandatory.
He is so funny, engaging, and just overall a great professor. It may be difficult to understand him sometimes because of his heavy accent, but he is really kind and willing to dedicate time outside of class to explain/help you out with anything.
Very disorganized and class structure was non-existent. Professor canceled many lectures and assigned a large research paper with ZERO instructions or a rubric. Also gave a random impromptu quiz at one point in the quarter with zero preparation in the class material. Assigned super long unnecessary readings and prof. has thick accent.
Stay away at all costs. Just like the last review said, this class was extremely disorganized with no clear grading criteria. You will need to read 20-50 pages a week, as expected of a GE. Prof. was very inaccessible online, however, and no-showed office hours he said were required. If doing for a GE, stay away from this Prof. TAs are good though.
DON'T waste your time on this professor. We were supposed to meet for 3 hrs on Mondays, but he canceled 7/10 times. When class did happen, it was only an hour. He even had the nerve to give an impromptu quiz after a month of canceled classes. The syllabus was one paragraph w/ no grading scale, & assignments seem thrown together. Unorganized class.
