Spring 2024 - Only attended a single day of class. The grade in this class is made up of weekly quizzes, which are a bit difficult but if you do the readings or search it up on Google you can ultimately guess your way to the answers? Didn't spend much time on this class beyond time on the weekends when the quizzes were due, so if you want a class that will take up less of your time but still fulfill GE / major requirements, go for it. The one day I attended lecture, Prof Khalifa was going through the content EXTREMELY fast to the point where I knew that it would be difficult for me to learn; but he also cracked jokes here and there and tried to keep the class engaging. Good effort but wish he taught slower, I would've been much more likely to attend class.

Winter 2024 - I loved the professor, but he was a bit hard to understand at times. He is really passionate about the class, which is refreshing. I thought that the papers were graded decently and there were strict instruction to follow - I was literally given a blueprint and told to follow it. Make sure to attend TA office hours to review your papers - it will help you write what they are looking for. The entire class is graded on your midterm (40%) and final (50%) papers which sounds scary - but go to office hours.
