Fall 2023 - Super easy class. Midterm essay, final essay, and oral presentation with your TA. All assignments you are free to choose your own topic, as long as it relates to the class. Lecture attendance was not mandatory most days, but was mandatory for guest speakers. Guest speakers were alright, minus some copaganda. Overall, not the most interesting course, but super light workload, and Zipperstein was engaging enough and really enthusiastic about engaging with students. If you need a random upper div to take, this is a good pick.
