Spring 2022 - this class contains of homework and a final essay. the homework = writing down a couple of sentences about the reading per page. so if the reading was 15 pages you were expected to write 15 notes which were roughly about 3-5 sentences. they had to be thoughtful and prove that you understood/read the readings. this was time-consuming but it did help me understand the material more. this homework is graded on competition, but if u had bad notes you would be marked off, or if u missed a couple of pages you would be marked off. these were graded by the TA and they were AWESOME. the final= 5-7 pages are about the whole class. it wasn't graded so I don't know if that's a common thing. also, the professor gave the final prompt only a week before it was due so it was hard, especially because we thought we would cancel the final. overall class thoughts = the professor states that the whole point of this class is for you to hear about theory and not really understand it. the grading system was good it's easy to receive 100% but the class can be boring. you read every week and then discuss the readings in your TA sections and in class. it was boring and I barely paid attention and received an A.the class never had PowerPoint so it was hard to stay engaged but you didn't have to focus anyways. you don't really have to pay attention in class just speak during TA sections, do the hw and final and you'll receive an A. i don't think he does A+ because I had a 100 and only received an A. overall I would say easy A but it did increase my anxiety bc I didn't know if I would receive an A since the final is graded by him and everything else is graded by the TAs. but in end the final was never graded
