Fall 2024 - Incredibly nice, smart, and funny professor. Took this class as a sociology elective, which I highly encourage you to do if you are also looking for a sociology elective or an elective for another major (if this class applies). The material was interesting and he is very flexible when it comes to deadlines and readings. This is a great class to take if you want something easy, low effort, and interesting. A few papers and quizzes but they are easy and he is a very forgiving grader. Nothing in this class was stressful at all (except maybe the material which is very focused on climate change, capitalism, imperialism, racism, etc). If the class interests you, there is really no reason not to take it. Highly highly recommend!
