Spring 2023 - There was A LOT of reading and I honestly did not go through most of it. With that said, the readings are absolutely necessary for the midterm and I only survived because I skimmed everything the weekend before and memorized brief descriptions of each reading and the authors. I also had a lot of help from classmates so if you're not confident in being able to keep up with the readings (4-6 papers a lecture) during the first half of the class, I wouldn't take it. The paper was alright because the TAs were very lenient with topic choice!
