Fall 2021 - Note: I believe Professor Teeter is moving on to do some work with indigenous tribes so this is more of a review of AmIndM10 in general. You should take this class if you want an easy GE. Firstly the grading is very lenient: it’s based on 5 discussion posts (full marks for engaging i.e a paragraph or two), discussion attendance (both being present and contributing), and 5 essays (750-1000 words each). The essays were quite easy to score well on because only 5/20 pts were based on content, the other 15 was things like citing enough sources and meeting the word count. The workload depends on you. The readings are often very long, but not all readings need to be read for the purpose of the essays/discussion post so you can actually skim/skip a lot without having it negatively affect your grade. The 5 essays are usually once every fortnight and are 750-1000 words so relatively light. Overall the course is fairly easy but also what you learn is definitely very enlightening.
