Winter 2020 - This is an easy GE, but it is very engaging and interesting. Professor Carpio does a great job planning lecture. Lectures are engaging for the most part, very organized, and easy to follow. There is a good amount of reading, but I almost never did the reading because we went over it in discussion and Professor Carpio would also talk about it in class. Your grade is based on 4 things: the midterm, a zine project, participation (going to discussions) and a final. The midterm was 2 parts: keywords and short answers. There was a lot to study for this but it was manageable and there wasn't harsh grading (I got a 98 and just studied the night before). The zine project was also very easy but did require some work and creativity, but again was graded pretty easy. (I'm not artistic at all and got a 100). I attended every discussion but probably talked a total of 4 times and still received a 100 for participation. Professor Carpio was very understanding of the coronavirus crisis at hand and made the final optional, so I did not take the final! I ended up with an A+ in the class and only put in work when there was something graded due! I also had Rachel as my TA and she is such a caring human! Take this class!

Fall 2019 - You guys, there isnt a review for this course and therefore I had to write one. Please take this class it is so easy. Only 3 essays (5 pages long), one group project, and two extra credit assignments. You must attend class because attendance is taken and mini in class assignments are given but they are easy. A strict rubric is given for each essay which breaks down each section and says expcility what one must do to receive full credit. Skimming through readings and or taking notes in class is enough to pass with an A. I received an A+ in this course, simply by showing up and paying attention to core concepts. Long story short professor Carpio is super kind, understanding, and helpful! If you have a lot on your plate this class is the one that dosent give you much stress and moves at a slower pace. You learn great new concepts but also are not overwhelmed. If you are ever confused, reach out to her after class, everyone can easly pass this course with some effort.
