Professor Poddar made every student feel like she really cared about them and their ideas. She definitely challenged each one of us in our writing skills, analytical skills, and understanding of ideas.

Even for an honors class, the workload for reading was intense. Most of the students agreed that we could not even get through some of the readings because they were so long and dense.

Take this class if you’re really passionate about the course concepts but be prepared for the workload! The class is mentally exhausting with the depth of analysis and the three-hour structure.
