Winter 2025 - Honestly, I went through the entire semester having no clue where my grade stands in this class. Prof. Fisher does not update the grades so it's just confusion and stress the whole time basically thinking you're failing. The material is hard, but the lectures are AMAZING!!! He is a tough grader but he tells you what he is looking for. As long as you abandon what you are typically used to when it comes to your writing-style, and adapt to his writing-style, you'll do great. Go to his office hours!! It makes a difference!

Spring 2019 - I enjoyed this class a lot, although the workload was extremely heavy. On average, we had daily readings that were around 40-60 pages long and then we had online reviews about them. We also had several essays and a research papers. During class we had engrossing conversations about the subject matter and the professor would have key topics on the board, which would be discussed in-depth. Overall, the class was very good, although the heavy workload and required daily attendance made it difficult to keep a good grade.
