Doesn't do anything to supplement her dry lectures. Wont even write important dates or names down. Reading is dense, expensive and boring and she's extremely unavailable for help. She even writes "Dont ask questions" on the board before exams, which is hilarious because her tests are worded poorly and sometimes even misspelled. overall, awful.

Professor Albanese is a pretty boring lecturer, and her powerpoints don't help, they're just filled with headlines that explain nothing!! She gives a quarter long assignment to write a 7-8 page paper, which you can't really start till a few weeks before. The tests are easy. Overall a good class for a GE.

Loved this class, I'm now a religious studies major because of it. Lecture and book material are the exact same, and Professor Albanese is a really quirky and awesome lady. Al Silva also is bomb!

Lots of reading if you want to get a good grade. Really good, knowledgeable professor though

You can either read the book or go to lecture. They're exactly the same, since she wrote the book. Midterm/paper/final are extremely straightforward. Easy to get an A

I agree with the comment right below about the lectures. I missed several lectures but never really felt like I fell behind. And when I went, I would play brickbreaker :). Midterm/paper/final = cake. Basically the reading, section, and lecture all say the same things. Also, Al really is an awesome T.A. He's really passionate and knowledgeable.
