Winter 2024 - I enjoyed Islamic Mysticism (Sufism) with Professor Green. He is a friendly person as well as a very knowledgeable scholar. The whole class was discussion-based: each session, we just discussed 100-150 pgs of readings the whole time. I would have appreciated more structure and historical context, because it felt more like literature analysis than history. It was a cool class and I'm glad I took it.
