Spring 2022 - I found the lectures to be engaging, but she did not record or bruincast the lectures due to the sensitive material so be aware of that. Your grade was based on weekly reaction 1 page reaction papers, attending 2 guest lectures, and completing either the midterm of the final. You had the option of whether you wanted to do the midterm or the final, but you could not do both. Professor Luft was also very accommodating and lenient with the weekly reaction papers and allowed you to miss up to 2 without penalty.
