Fall 2017 - This class wasn't even a backup class for me when I was registering during orientation this fall, but somehow I signed up and it was the best decision I could have made for my continuously sinking GPA. Tests are the same as the study guide, labs take place during discussion which is basically free points, and the essay is 5 pages and not hard. Acabado forever.

Fall 2023 - Easy class, cool professor. There's no Midterms or Final, just a take-home exam (given 2-3 days to complete) that takes 2 hours max to complete every other week. Show up to discussions (yes, they do take attendance) and do the readings- it will help you for the exams.

Spring 2024 - I came into this class not expecting to be too interested in the topic, but was surprised as the quarter went on. I really enjoyed this class and feel very grateful to have taken it. The main assignments are two papers based off of readings you did for discussion, and I feel like they were fairly graded overall. If you are willing to put in a bit of effort, you should be fine, but it really helps if you are excited about it!

Fall 2020 - Super easy GE, i finished the course by W8. Two 3-4 page papers but he drops the lowest and 5 quizzes during the quarter and also drops lowest so I only needed to do one paper and 4 quizzes. My TA only took attendance grades for 8 weeks so once I had enough I stopped going. Quizzes mainly based on lecture and not the readings. If there was a problem on the readings, I usually just hunted for the answer during the quiz instead of reading it before. Copy paste the lecture transcripts into a word doc to find some answers and have ppts up for quiz
