Fall 2017 - This class was a scam. The grade distribution is a scam. My TA said during her section that this would be an easy A and that she was the easiest grader. Completely deceiving. I worked my butt off for the final paper and still couldn't get an A on it. Save yourself the stress and take truly easy GE's such as American Indian Studies M10 or Ethnomusicology 50A, where you can put in 0 effort and still get an A.

Great class and easy GE. Professor McCumber is an incredible professor and I walked out of the class incredibly interested in German philosophy. The class breakdown is a midterm,a five page paper and a ten page paper which is not too bad and your grade depends on your TA. Overall, the class was great, learned a lot and McCumber was an amazing professor. Also, selling the course reader for the class message me **********
