Winter 2016 - Dr. Shayegan is incredible. He gives weekly assigned readings but goes over everything in class, so you can get away without doing the actual readings. But attendance is mandatory! His lectures are interesting and he is very clear. He does not provide study guides for the midterm and final but he goes over everything in DETAIL on what the exams will cover. If you attend class and take good notes, there is no excuse for you to not get an A. He's quite funny also! Highly recommended! And no papers either.
