Great professor, you could tell he really cared about the topic and made it interesting. Reading is printed out every week only about 30-60 pages but make sure to read closely or you won't pass the section quizzes. One essay that required just a little research, pretty fair. Overall, if this topic seems interesting to you, you will love this class.

Amazing lecturer and very engaging. Readings aren't from a textbook, but are primary sources he has you print each week and there are quizzes at the beginning of section each week on the reading. Lecture slides are posted online, but to get the whole plethora of information, go to class, otherwise it's just skeletal and unhelpful. Loved this class!

He's an amazing professor. Knows his stuff and explains things well. Lecture is a must since he leaves stuff out of the slides he puts online. If you study and do your work you will be fine. Overall great professor and class

He's a really awesome dude. The class is very lecture heavy and even though he posts slides online he leaves a lot of key things out. The Ta's were both awesome. The majority of the class is midterm, final, and a research paper. Very interesting class.

Class revolves around lectures and readings (relevant articles found online). Grade is made up of mostly midterm, final, and one end of the quarter paper. Tests are very lecture heavy, but the lectures are interesting if you are into this kind of thing. Weekly reading quizzes and the reading can be kind of a lot some weeks. Overall, good class.
