Professor Clayman is one of the nicest professors I've ever had. The class was able to sway him to only give us one paper rather than two. We were able to bargain the date for our midterm. His lectures are key! If you don't attend lecture, you'll be lost. But if you go, his lectures are very organized and easy to follow. And you'll do great on the exams. I didn't even read any of the books for the course but attended almost every single lecture and was fine. There was supposed to be two papers, a midterm, and a final. The midterm and final were true/false questions and short answer as to why it is true/false. Pretty straightforward. Highly recommend the class!

Winter 2024 - I'm not sure why there are low-ish reviews for this class. The material is incredibly straightforward, Rossman is very accommodating, and there really isn't that much material. The topics are pretty interesting to think about and the exams are non-cumulative. The assignments are pretty much graded for completion as well.
