The tests are heavy based off lectures

Professor Fujino is very passionate about this subject and her lectures are very informative and are the basis for the exams. Exams rely on reading the material and mostly on lecture notes. All readings are provided as pdfs. Section has weekly write ups and is helpful with midterm and final review. Finals are written long essay answers.

Best professor I've had, but be aware attendance is crucial, she doesn't post the lecture slides and those r literally everything you need besides the readings. The exams are the same, just remember specific examples for the mini essays. Other than that, I loved how passionate and genuine she was. She's an amazing professor, 1000% recommend :)

She is extremely passionate about her work, kind hearted, caring, enthusiastic, I LOVED her as a person but I intended to take this class as an easy GE and it was NOT!!! So much reading and she does not post lecture slides, and grading is very exam heavy. Only take this class if you are truly passionate about the subject, but not for an easy GE :)

Lectures are dense and missing a lecture could lead to missing important information. She does not post lecture slides. Reading is mandatory but she assigns around 40 pages per week which sometimes comprise entire test questions. Contextual understanding and specific examples from readings/notes are required to score well. TA's 20% is uncertain.

Content was interesting. Lots of assigned reading. Sections were VERY helpful. 80% of your grade is two in class essays (midterm and final) and they're pretty tough graders, but an A is achievable as long as you stay engaged with the readings and lectures. Slides aren't posted so you can't really skip, but it was worth going to!

I loved this class!! It's honestly fairly easy to do well in if you just go to lecture. I didn't do half of the readings, but only missed like two lectures and have an A. There aren't any assignments except reading and midterm/final, and one other event write up. Worst part is she doesn't post slides but she's a very engaging professor

She has great intentions but she is not the most clear professor. Lectures the entire class, will not provide her slides to students, and assignsunrealistic amounts of reading. Grade is based on Final (40%) and Midterm (40%). 3 essays, closed notes, based on reading/lectures, in person. Good class, but not an easy class for a GE or to get a A in.

I learned a lot from this class but I need to emphasize that it is not easy to get an A in, look at the DailyNexus grade search. I really recommend taking this class Pass/No Pass because the two exams where you write 3 short essays make up 80% of your grade and it is very difficult to get an A in especially since the TA's 20% is difficulttopredict.

Professor Fujino is very passionate about what she teaches and is amazing at teaching. I think the only thing I disliked was how exam heavy this class was, 80% of your grade is just exams and I just felt like that's poorly structured. Needless to say my TA Colin Sibley was amazing too and thanks to him I actually passed this class.

prof fujino is passionate and an expert in her field, i totally enjoyed the class but the midterm/final grading was unnecessarily tough and expects more than what the question asks (like you can read the TAs minds). generous reading amount and lectures are important. colin sibley was a great TA though! wish i took it pass/fail for GE

Professor Fujino gave very engaging and well-rounded lectures, always incorporated the overall themes into material. The exams were a bit complex and very detail-oriented, more than I had anticipated for a GE class. Readings are highly emphasized.
