Spring 2025 - i really enjoyed this class! i was a little stressed out before the midterm, especially with previous reviews saying the time constraint was unreasonable. it was actually very easy and i ended up with 100%. it was a few multiple choice and then short answer. the final was a paper. some of the readings were kind of dense, but i had a TA who was really helpful going over them during discussion. the subject material was super interesting and luft is an engaging lecturer. i really liked this class and wish she taught other classes because i would have loved to take her again!
