Fall 2016 - It was an interesting course, the two books that are required are fun to read especially the brothel one. She is very invested and dedicated to hear teachings. She gives you a study guide for both the midterm and final. It's clear cut. You must sign in to receive participation points. She's sweet and understanding. A good class to take if it's your first quarter. She seems like an easy grader as long as you write a lot in the blue books. Her powerpoints are sometimes off so you gotta take notes and go to class.
