Fall 2019 - Really nice guy, lectures were kind of dull although some stuff was interesting, and the workload was manageable. The worst thing about this class was the online midterms. Some of the questions were about weird small things he mentioned for a brief second in a lecture and the way some questions were worded was strange.

Winter 2016 - I LOVED this class. The grades consisted of 3 things: 1) A group project that was just a debate in class one week (20%) 2) A final paper on one of the topics that the group presented -- and you can use their exact same arguments you just have to type them out!! (40%) 3) In class final that just picked 3 of the debates from in class and you have to pick a side and write an essay on each! (40%) Prof. Gurantz was extraordinarily helpful with questions after class and it was honestly one of the easiest but most thought provoking classes I've taken. Love him, love the class.
