Fall 2024 - I took this class as I needed a req and the grade is based on two essays out of three which are based on books, and you can choose which ones to do 70%, two exams 20%, and participation 10%. If you show up to lecture you will be fine. I honestly barely did the readings for this class because he goes over it in lecture anyway. Nothing is recorded so if you show up and take notes you will pass. Since grades depend a lot on the essays which are 4-5 pages you must incorporate readings but his whole lecture is based on them anyway so I would say this class is easy and would 100% take it again. He is also so funny in a way that he does not even realize. Sometimes he will say "This topic really turns me on" and I don't think he realizes what he's saying.
