Fall 2023 - This class was incredibly easy, but terribly messy. This course honestly didn't feel like a college class. Everyone, including the professor and TA's, were confused all the time. You'll have to write two papers, complete weekly quizzes, and go to Venice for a ritual, although, I'm not even sure if any of my work was actually graded (I know for a fact that I had half-assed several of the quizzes, only to get 100% on all of them). All in all, everyone was confused, nothing made sense, however I'm glad I got an A+.
