Spring 2024 - The class itself is not that difficult. There are a handful of very straightforward pop quizzes with 2-3 questions based on the readings, a midterm and final that also contend with the readings, and a research paper. The midterm and final were pretty straightforward as long as you did the readings or paid attention to what the professor said about them in lecture. We were also allowed a notecard cheatsheet for both exams. The research paper was also pretty simple, although the prompt is very loose so the rigor and depth expected were unclear. Not a difficult class by any means, but required a bit more effort than you would expect. The professor herself was not a very interesting lecturer, most classes were very boring and dry and she's somewhat ramble-y, and overall I don't feel that I've learned much from this class. I would not recommend this class.
