not sure if she's going to teach it again any time soon, but it was an intense class in terms of the amount of work one had to put in. However, it was worth it because you come out of the class knowing more than you ever wanted to about the Life and Death of Socrates and its place in the modern legal context. (2) 5 page papers, one take home practice midterm, 20 page term paper ( ino intense huh--atleast for an undergrad class), and an in class final. Brilliant professor, great readings, you just really have to love the subject matter. Enjoy, take it for the experience, if for nothing else
