Fall 2017 - Schopen is hilarious and the TA Sung Ha Yun was very helpful, she's the one who actually grades you for everything. Prof taught the lectures and Sung Ha taught discussions, which is where the weekly homework of coming up with a lecture and reading question to turn in came in. There was a lot of reading but I found the majority of them as leaked pdfs. The ones that have to be bought are explanatory and some people didn't buy them, but they were definitely helpful and if you get them from Ackerman you can sell them back. The midterm and final are 4 questions given in the previous lecture and then you write 3 in the next lecture (75 min) with whatever aides you prepared. So each of those 6 essays are 10% of your grade then 30% discussion questions and 10% participation. This is an extremely easy class but your grade mostly depends on how complete your essay outlines are.
