Winter 2024 - I loved this class but it was so much reading! The amount of reading expected for this class was really mind blowing, and there were a couple instances where I had to read a 700 page book in the span of a couple days so that I would be ready for class in addition to textbook reading due on the same day. However, the books were great and interesting and if you fall behind on some readings it's not the end of the world! I never participated in class but attended every class and got an A. The paper was a big undertaking but was manageable! Professor Jauretche was sweet and engaging in class but a little unhelpful when I reached out asking for help or advice when I joined the class late. I ended up being pretty behind for the first part of the course because I was unclear about where to find the different things assigned and what was expected of me.
