I really enjoyed Prof. Namala's class. She was a decent lecturer and made great use of media in her presentations. And her tests were very reasonable. She was straightforward about the material, and gave us really helpful study guides. The exams are a lot of writing, but it's totally doable. And the texts that are required for the class are actually interesting. The sections and overall class focus more heavily on the less interesting text, but the other one is so great you'll want to read it even if it's not going to be discussed. I would highly recommend this course for anyone looking to satisfy a requirement or simply just as a GPA booster. And if you get Daniel Beckman as your TA, he's super awkward but a really agreeable grader, especially in comparison to the other TAs.
