Reconsider other classes before you end up with this one. He assigns you 5 papers throughout the quarter and there's a weekly quiz that's impossible to do well in if you do not read. The books, there are 4, and those are instant eye-closing materials. If you want to do well, read. If you're going to take it pass no pass, don't read.

The readings for the class were interesting - he is not. Reading is basically useless as he just repeats verbatim what you read for homework. Easy class, just super uninteresting if you are looking to actually learn.

I really liked Pelttari. The class was a little boring but I thought the literary works were interesting and I learned a lot. Make sure to take good notes and go to office hours to learn what will be on the final.
