The readings in this class are not bad, although Poonawala could definitely have found better resources. He might try to present material in an unbiased manner, but he always somehow manages to throw in a completely unnformative but inappropriate and offending comment into his lectures. He is difficult to discuss readings with since he comes from a single viewpoint. Also, I took an incomplete to finish the last paper in his class and he STILL is giving me grief about it. Never another class with him.
