Fall 2019 - The class is about A.I., Genetic engineering, Singularity and other topics like that which I personally found very interesting. We had to write summaries for readings every week which is manageable if you do not procrastinate. 40% of your grade is participation and homework, 25% is the first paper and the other 25% is the second paper. Another thing Professor Sussman does is that he makes you submit a first draft for your papers and gives you helpful feedback on it.

Fall 2024 - If you are hesitating between ENGCOMP 3E with Mr. Sussman and another ENGCOMP or any other class for that matter, PICK MR. SUSSMAN! As an engineer, this was honestly my favorite class, it really sets you up to think about what the future revolutions in tech are going to be, and it's almost more of a fun philosophy class than an English class. We watched movies in and out of class, joked around, and there was generally a good vibe in the class. Yet, Professor Sussman managed to combine that fun with an engaging lecture as well, that made you think about subjects like AI, the Internet, mind uploading, CRISPR, and more. If you're curious how this class works, here's a brief summary: participation is mandatory; you have very little homework that actually counts; you can't know your grade until the end of the quarter (which can be confusing); the grade is primarily based on two essays (you get to submit a first draft for each, which he gives feedback on and even gives a grade even though only the second draft counts towards your grade, which makes it easy to meet his criteria for a good grade); it can be hard for some to get an A on the essays, but getting a B+ should be very easy...

Spring 2024 - Cool professor, he's nice guy and wants his students to succeed. I also like the content in the class; it does a good job of giving us an intro into the law. A law 101 if you will. I would definitely take a class with him again, and would recommend him to any other students interested in getting a crash course on legal writing. thanks professor!
