Very interesting class, albeit very disorganized since this was her first time teaching this course: we ended up reading about half of the articles in the course reader and completely scrapping one of our textbooks and a paper assignment. Thus for this class it was basically a midterm and final (both essay-based), and a short writing assignment. She distributes the essay prompts beforehand so you can prepare for them. Overall a very enlightening class with little work. Her lecture style is very gruesome: she sits at the podium and talks without any visual aid, so you need to be a very fast note-taker to get down everything she says.
