This class was great—super easy, A. The assignments were beyond manageable, and the midterm and final were easy. Attendance is not required, but the lectures are helpful. The professor was good, engaging, and passionate about his work. I would take this class over and over again.

Professor Hunter is one of the most engaging lecturers you will ever have. The lecture material is interesting and applicable to the world today. I used it to fulfill GE requirements and didn't know what to expect going in, but I ended up finding the course really enjoyable. He also often plays music during lecture and I added some pretty good songs to my playlist. The group project, midterm, and final are the main parts of your grade. If you go to lecture and find some notable quotes from the readings you will not need to spend very much time on them and still turn out a good final product. I didn't find this class to be stressful at all, but it also never felt like time wasted for me, which was very appreciated. I highly recommend taking this class with Professor Hunter.

The work incorporates everything taught in the class, and the lectures were meant to be an explanation of what we learned independently through readings.

Professor Hunter conveyed from the beginning what his learning goals for us as students were. He also connected all of our work to the lectures and readings which helped me as a students understand the class more.

I took this class in 2018. My group had fun with the group project, I think. I did ok in the class with a 'B'. Good class overall.

The professor is great, but the TAs are another story. They are not easy graders and the grade distribution for the class was not clear. The TA told us that grades would be boosted, but they ended up being calculated from our raw score. It was impossible to even argue since they don’t post their grade distribution anywhere. Overall, I would say beware of your TA and don’t expect an easy A like the previous reviews explained.

Straightforward material and Hunter keeps lecture engaging. Make sure you do the readings because that is how you will build your argument for your midterm/final papers. I'm not sure if this was the case with all TAs, but mine was very focused on essay structure so I recommend making topic sentences, transitions, thesis, etc. clear.
Hunter offers plenty of extra credit to help boost your grade. Take advantage of it because the grading structure is different than other classes I've had. Go to section because attendance was taken regularly and makes up a good portion of your grade.

I feel like the previous responder had the same TA as me lol. I agree it is very TA dependent. But the good thing is that she is graduating and is no longer going to hand out potato grades. There is 1 3+ page essay for the midterm and 2 4+ essays for the final and a multimedia project you do in a group. If you wanted an easy A, I'm not sure if this class hands 85% A's anymore, so you should be prepared to do more work than you'd thought.

Professor Hunter is amazing and the class is very fun but Please be Aware of your TA as they control your grades. You don't have to believe me as the reviews make this class seem like the easiest class ever for an A but it really does depend on the TA. Grades are dependent on two essays (about 6-8 pages) for the midterm and final and a video project that you do with your fellow classmates. However, I still highly recommend this class as Professor Hunter is genuinely an amazing person and professor and the workload is very small. Just, in my recommendation, please allow your schedule to be somewhat flexible so you can change TAs if you find one to be absolute dogshit. And yes I am salty lol. #ripmy3.7
