Pretty easy class. Did not do reading at all but professors go through them in class so it was not a problem. Midterms are timed essays. I skipped final bc I did well in midterms and received a good grade. Class has interesting but serious content.
It was entirely asynchronous when I took it in Fall 2021. The lectures were clear but not very engaging. The contents we discussed in the class and the readings were interesting and I liked them. There were only 2 papers, one midterm, and one final. There was no discussion post required during the week, so this class was relatively light in terms of workload. She made the final optional (which I was so thankful for that). The papers were not so hard, but the second one you need to conduct ethnographic feildwork which was cool and I learned a lot from it. However, I feel like I had good experiences in this class not because of the lecture but because I got a very good and caring TA. She is the best TA I had in that quarter. The discussion session was awesome mainly because of my TA. Therefore, I would recommend this class. It is an easy GE, and hope you get a good TA like what I had.
