In the post below, its really interesting that you talked about my TA. Theri is tough and she's not afraid to call you on your *ish. Hell, you shouldn't have been doodling next to the TA. If you wanted to do that, you should have sat elsewhere! And, technically, she's right. She knows more about education than you do obviously. I was in her section and she's cool. She explains things carefully, thinks about other people's opinions and answers them honestly, and makes hilarious jokes. She's also really knowledgeable about many other cultures and makes a bunch of people feel included. I was a little intimidated by that smirk she wears, but it really just means she's interested in what you're saying and kind of thinking the same thing. She's a little old school (I'm the teacher, you're the student). I could handle that especially because if you respect her, you're cool. She's human... LOL.. (ie Dear person who was doodling... um, you messed up) Anyhoo, Mufti was cool as a lecturer, but I've seen people call the prof complicated if he gives too many points and it IS a lower div after all. I liked the reading and it was fun to learn from him. He's cool at office hours, but a little aloof.

Summer 2019 - Vlatka is clearly very passionate about the subject. She would often go on about a specific idea or event in a book and leave little time to discuss the rest of the book. That being said, the lecture wasn't that helpful to me; I learned most in my peer-learning group. The midterm and final aren't that difficult as long as you remember or know the main ideas and events in each book.
