Fall 2023 - This class is an easy GE. You just have 3 papers to write and an attendance Grade for discussion and readings you can preview to talk about. The professor is very passionate about the material and his lectures are more of a conversation but still the few times i actually attended it was an interesting conversation. Definitely recommend if you want something light.

Fall 2022 - Bro these lectures were so so so long and absolutely useless. Thankfully, the assignments weren't based on what was taught in the lectures. It is a super easy GE, and I would recommend it - just don't go to the lectures. Also my TA didn't really speak English, so when I would ask her something she would high key just confuse me more and not answer my questions at all. NOT HER FAULT FOR NOT SPEAKING ENGLISH it just made it hard to have her as a teacher.

Fall 2024 - I absolutely loved this class and genuinely enjoyed the lectures with Professor Ruskin. He is a very engaging professor who cares about his students. I never needed to but I am sure if you ever expressed a concern with him he will be willing to listen and provide assistance to you. The class itself was very interesting. The only assignments we had were two quizzes and two take-home papers for the midterm and final. Other than that there were weekly readings you needed to read for discussion. If you stay on top of the readings you will not have a hard time with the quizzes as they are based directly on that. If I remember correctly, the quizzes were timed but he gives you more than enough time to complete them. It's not hard to pass this class with an A or A+ so I definitely recommend if you're looking to cover a GE.

Fall 2024 - This is seriously the easiest + best GE you can take. The class is so chill and the essays are pretty straightforward. I highly recommend anyone taking this class and the guest artists that Ruskin brings in are very entertaining. This is guaranteed an A as long as you put in some effort. I love Jesse
