Lieberman was a pretty good professor when it came to listening to students feedback. From what I gathered, his exams used to be extremely difficult but now if you have a good understanding of what he says in lecture, you'll do good on the exams. The only thing is is that he rambles a lot and seems to love the sound of his own voice so the concepts can seemed a little dragged out. Overall, this class was really interesting.
I think this is a great class with a lot of strengths but also a few weaknesses. First, Professor Lieberman is a great guy and really wants all of his students to succeed. After every class he sends out a feedback form so he can change his approach for following lectures or add more details to the slides if people need it. Workload for this class is non-existent, but you need to stay on top of your notes since your grade is based only on 2 exams and a paper (40% for each exam and 20% for the paper). But, he offers a lot of extra credit to help out with the high stakes exams (4.5% to your final grade for my quarter).
As for weaknesses, you will encounter some pretty tough concepts that are not always explained very well, and there tend to be some strange exam questions with odd wording that don't always perfectly align with what is taught in lecture. The content is also very philosophy heavy which can be challenging for those who haven't been around it, and exams require that you know of a LOT of different studies inside out.
Despite all of that, the class was great, Professor Lieberman leaves you with a lot of real-life advice based on his research, and I think I am better off having taken this class.
