Spring 2018 - Professor Buswell seems kind, but he is very busy. He once had to step out in the middle of a lecture because he had a meeting to attend. His TA grades most (if not all) of the assignments. TA did a good job facilitating the discussions. No group projects, just papers. Final essays must use the books Prof Buswell wrote as reference. Overall, interesting subject but not a very engaging class.
