Winter 2026 - He is possible the one of the sweetest professors. I took this as a GE and was scared that I made a boring decision, but his passion in this topic completely makes the class better. The lectures are 1 hour and 50 minutes and the discussions are 50 minutes (one TA online the other in person). There were supposed to be more essays, but because he wanted us to focus on writing the midterm paper he cut out some assignments. Overall this class was interesting, fun (we studied Lady Gaga in class like what), and super easy. Highly recommend.
