Fall 2024 - I wish I had known that I was going to pass this class. I was terrified all quarter, but he ended up being a very fair grader. He talks up the final paper to be very high stakes, and I was really worried that I was going to fail it. I ended up with a B+ in the class, but had I not been so anxious, I think I could have written a much better paper. Don't let the final paper stress you out, just try your best and keep up with discussion posts - you'll be fine!
