Fall 2023 - This class is an easy GE. You just have 3 papers to write and an attendance Grade for discussion and readings you can preview to talk about. The professor is very passionate about the material and his lectures are more of a conversation but still the few times i actually attended it was an interesting conversation. Definitely recommend if you want something light.

Fall 2022 - Bro these lectures were so so so long and absolutely useless. Thankfully, the assignments weren't based on what was taught in the lectures. It is a super easy GE, and I would recommend it - just don't go to the lectures. Also my TA didn't really speak English, so when I would ask her something she would high key just confuse me more and not answer my questions at all. NOT HER FAULT FOR NOT SPEAKING ENGLISH it just made it hard to have her as a teacher.

Fall 2024 - I think it is clear that professor Ruskin is passionate about this topic and knows what he is doing. HOWEVER his presentations are very disorganized and it is hard to know what I should be notaking is very unclear. It feels like most of the subject matter discussed in lecture isn't at all related to homework. Overall its a fun class, but not amazing.

Fall 2023 - Very easy and manageable class. Definitely recommend for an easy GE! As a STEM major the discussions (attendance/'participation' is counted for discussions) were sometimes the most fun class of my week. It depends on the TA but my discussions were silly little activities that didn't require you to have done the readings (plan a music festival, karaoke, make a collage abt a topic, etc). Your grade mainly consists of two papers and a final project, all of which are opinion based and don't require knowledge from the lectures. There are also two take home quizzes that were fairly easy. Lectures were pretty entertaining too but you don't need to go to do well in the class!
