To simply label his class as easy is a slap in the face to what learning is. Incredibly open minded, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable. His passion is as contagious as the swine flu, and quadruple the impact. Take his class simply as a reminder that in this hyper competitive environment (or at least as a premed), classroom and learning can still be an absolute joy. Haven't gotten grade yet, but I don't even care. Do his extra credits also (which is watching intelligent, thoughtful films that will also positively influence your life). Who knew I would ever write one of these reviews...

Great class! Assignments are 3 essays, first one 4-5 pages, 2nd 5-6. pages, last one 6-7 pages. No midterm, no final! mostly your TA makes or breaks your grade. I think I had the best TA known to made, thank you so much Andrea! Highly recommend this class, readings are great and engaging.

The whole grade is 3 essay drafts which count for around 25% of the grade and 3 essay revisions which are 55% of the grade. As long as you listen to your TA on their draft advice, you will get an A on the final draft. The rest of the class grade is participation, which is basically just attendance and signing in to lecture. The reading is light and engaging.

Prof. Lunde is the man. His class is really cool. It's sort of a lecture and discussion thrown in one. He really cares about his students and is a funny and great teacher. He's really easy to connect and communicate with and is just a great person.

The class is decent regarding its workload. You have to do readings before every class which you'll discuss (advisable to participate, not much, but throw in a comment or two every lecture and discussion). The readings are short and easyyy and you can pretty much say anything and he will take your point courteously and acknowledge that you participated. You have to write three essays, and three 2-page short essays. The short essays are really easy and you're guaranteed the full credit as long as you put some thought into it. The regular essays depend on your TA as they're graded by them...but overall the topics are diverse and abundant.
There's a couple extra credit opportunities which can boost your grade.

I took this class as a GE and a Writing II class and I highly recommend it. Prof. Lunde is great and the class is pretty easy.
