Fall 2024 - Very reading/discussion-heavy class. Two readings per class (so four per week), each reading varies from 20~40 pages. One reading response (250~300 words) due before each class. These responses are graded on a completed/uncompleted basis iirc. He gives feedback on every reading response. The midterm and final essays are the ones that he actually grades. No extra credits. Lectures are pretty much discussion-based. Sometimes we have classmates present on one of the two readings (to get the full participation credit). About the grading, he said in our announcement that he doesn't use the grade book system that much because it automatically assigns number grades to his letter grades. Can't complain honestly since I got a good grade (tysm if you're reading this). Future takers, just make sure to write nice midterms/finals. He's really nice in person.

Professor Dutton was an excellent teacher. His lectures closely matched the handouts distributed at the beginning of each class, and since he doesn't believe in exams, the workload was managable; 2 essays, a map quiz and a final. He is very knowledgable on the subject and is passionate about what he does. Go to office hours if you really want an A.

Review for Viet 180B Reading assignments due every week. 1 Long paper 1 Final paper 1 Map quiz 3 short quizzes This class is definitely doable if you do the reading (even if it's just skimming) and pay attention during lecture. He's very passionate about the material but the lectures are long. Professor Dutton is very nice and also gave outlines of lectures so we could follow along.
