Winter 2023 - SUPER INTERESTING! Agnew is so great and so knowledgeable (but also talks for the entire lecture up until the last second). This course was really intriguing and I loved learning about cities across Europe. It was also SO. EASY. Literally just a take-home midterm and final. The books were unnecessary I found free pdfs of them and just skimmed them for examples for the exams. Agnew's slides are robust and I'd recommend typing everything down. I loved how, after the introductory lectures, each week/day was set aside to deep-dive into one particular city.
