Fall 2025 - participation is taken every lecture but you can show up legit 10 minutes before class ends and do the participation check. prof dutton is a super sweet and knowledgeable guy though so i def showed up for every single lecture! they were really engaging, and the readings were pretty interesting but kind of long sometimes. theres a 400 ish word reflection based on the readings every week, it's not too hard because you can just yap about how it relates to yourself or something + theyre only graded on completion. both the TAs are really good too so i would def recommend this as a nice GE but waking up for the 9:30 lecture was a bit of a pain i cant lie
