Winter 2017 - Way too difficult of a class for a G.E. Talked with many fellow students and they agreed that the workload and amount of reading assigned for this class was well above what it should be for a G.E. Interesting class, but it will require a significant amount of your time to get an A let alone a B. I have an extensive and thorough 60+ page combined study guide for all the midterm and final review questions for sale for $50. Email me at ************* for more information.

Summer 2025 - nicest guy ever!!!! was taking ochem at the same time as this class + working an in-person job and he was sooo so understanding about it!! I literally couldn't participate in the first class because of work, and he cut me slack, which I super appreciate. he even gave the whole class like an extra three days to work on our final paper + did one on one check ins with all of us on our progress to give us corrections. He's also pretty funny, respectful of your time, and you generally as a person who has a whole life and can't be his number 1 student + didn't make me pay for a bs textbook he wrote! def graded me nicer than i deserved cos im not a good writer :) grading: the whole core assignment was a 7-9 page double-spaced research paper on ANY topic you wanted related to Buddhism, so it was really fun :) Proposal + Preliminary Bibliography 10pts Rough Draft (4-5 pages) 20pts Peer Review 5pts Final Draft (7-9) pages) 30pts Final Exam 20pts (pick 3 from 10 short essay questions to answer, highest scoring 2 are graded) Attendance and Participation 10pts (having ur camera on counted) Weekly Discussion Posts 5pts
