I would highly recommend taking this course with Prof. Zeitlin. I don't know how anyone could say that his lectures are boring, because I find them riveting. Very seldom do I encounter a professor who presents material in such an engaging manner. The material that this course deals with is very disturbing, and it must be taken seriously. Of course it may be uncomfortable for someone who hasn't done the reading, but it is an Honors course, so people who take it should be willing to do the work and learn something. If you want to take an amazing course and change the way you think about events in the world, then take this course, but don't take it if you just want an easy A.
