Spring 2024 - This class is very interesting and both the professor and the TA are very knowledgeable in the subject (impressively so, I would say), There is a written memo required every two weeks (1200-1500 words) for which you are pretty much only allowed to draw from class readings (which are rather long and sometimes very confusing) and lectures, which tend to tie into each other. If you take this class, I recommend starting your memos early! Attendance and participation are also heavily emphasized. Overall a decent class!
