Great professor, and pretty straight-forward class. Lots of reading, but not necessarily all required. Selling textbooks for a cheap price, email me at *************.

Quarter: Winter 2018
Grade: A+

This class requires a lot of busy work and memorization, but as long as you put some time into the class, it's not hard. It is way more work for a GE than I was expecting, so be prepared to spend quality time with the material-you have to memorize 80 slides for both the midterm and the final, but extra credit is offered on both so it is easy to get an A or above on both. This class is definitely TA dependent because the two 5-6 page papers are a big chunk of your grade (25% each), and some TAs were way harder graders than others. It is helpful to come into the class with the ability to write a good essay since it can break your grade if you do poorly on the essays. The upside of this class is that you don't have to go to lecture, because none of the lecture material is on the midterm or final and you don't have to incorporate lecture topics into the papers. I only went to lecture a couple times the whole quarter and still got an A+- just make sure you go to discussion since it's participation points (10%) and the TAs can give helpful insight into the midterm and final.

I would consider this an "easy" GE. I say easy because the class during my quarter was solely graded on three essays of about 1000 words, and there were no tests or homework. Attendance in discussion is required, but the essays aren't even dependent on the lectures; you are given sources to use instead. In fact, I stopped going to lectures after about the second week and never looked back. Professor Papadopoulos is pretty nice and accomodates his students well.

No tests and no need to go to the lectures. We had 3 papers throughout the quarter that weren't even related to the lectures. Super easy GE if you don't mind writing about a boring topic.

If you need an easy A for a GE then definitely take this class. The only assignments are three 5 page papers that you have to write. Go to sections because of attendance but you can for sure skip the lectures because nothing that is taught there is what the papers are about.

he integrated the lecture pretty well, lots of possible extra credit, as long as you do the reading, u dont realli need to go to lecture; he was sporadically funny=) which was cool. he tries to give lots of hints during slide exams; take this class for an easy g.e.! as long as you put in a few hrs before exams and kinda keep up with the reading, it shouldnt be hard to get an A~

He is incredibly nice and passionate, and knows his material. I was always amazed by how many dates he could remember. The material was kind of dry if you ask me, but the class was easy. Professor Papadopolous wants everyone to get As. His exams were very straightforward and you get plenty of hints before hand. The only reason I got an A- was because TAs grade the two papers (very straightforward also) and I got B+s on them.
