Winter 2024 - Professor Hunter is passionate about the material, but his lectures are boring—luckily, you don't ever have to go to them. This class is graded entirely by TAs on essays/projects and discussion participation. You will be expected to read (you can skim) a few articles every week, write Canvas discussion posts about them, and talk about them in discussion. There is also a manifesto project and final essay, which make up almost all of the grade. My TA Ren was reasonable and approachable, and also a very fair grader. And even though this was an easy GE at the end of the day, it was still very interesting.

Fall 2020 - I would not recommend taking this course. Dr. Woosley is amazing, but the course load is insane. We had 5 assignments due on the same day during finals week and little guidance as to how to complete our final project. The number of assignments and work we had to do was crazy.
