Fall 2024 - Cluster 20A had very interesting lectures and the whole team of professors was incredible. The profs and TAs know that first years may have a lot of questions/concerns and are super accommodating. The workload was completely manageable for me and the required readings were never too much. If you are on the fence about taking a cluster I highly recommend it as the overall workload was manageable, and you will need to get the credits anyway. This cluster is a good choice for STEM majors trying to complete requirements fast, especially if you have any interest in learning more about history and its connections to modern politics. Also, the name of the cluster may have changed slightly compared to the header here on Bruinwalk, but when I took this course it was titled RACE & INDIGENEITY IN THE US, just keep that in mind during registration :D.
