Fall 2022 - This class is very fast paced just like the other 20 series ethno classes, but you will learn a lot from the materials and from Prof Rees!! She is such an amazing professor, cares about the students, the field, the materials, and teaching. She is so sweet, so accommodating! Just do the readings and draw down notes as she goes over them; it will be very helpful when it comes to the midterms and final. One thing really to be aware about is test-taking skill. The tests are timed, including the final! She only allocates 1.5 hours or smth out of the entire 3 hours time slot for you to complete the final. I and many students have found the policy a little unnecessary. Nonetheless, just be aware and don't drift away too much in trying to impress her with all that writing in the early section and save time for the big essays.
