Winter 2017 - Professor Rocco is very nice and cares about learning. He can be strict about tardiness and using your phone/laptop but its because he cares. There are quizzes every two weeks but they're really easy: just do the readings and he gives you the questions before hand so you just have to look out for the answers. the readings are really really good and interesting. no exam - just a final paper that is worth like 60% of your grade. pretty easy if you do the readings and attend class. straightforward.
