Spring 2024 - Mandatory attendance but no section. Final was supposed to be an essay but ended up being 3 prompts (700-1200 words each) though it was take home so I suppose that's fair. Oak is difficult to understand a lot of the time, and his slides are not super clear, but most information is accessible in the assigned readings. He gave midterm prompts in advance and had students submit reading reflections to him via email. Overall pretty chill class, and Oak is a nice guy.
