This class was seriously so boring, but the tests were very easy and mostly based on memorizing the slides and pictures. The tests were essay based and in-class and very manageable if you memorize which slides come from which lecture and the theme associated with that lecture. There were mandatory writing responses, but only 5 for the entire quarter. If you did a 6th one it would replace your lowest score in the responses. Discussions were helpful if you needed clarification on certain themes of that week, and it's highly suggested to do the readings, or at least skim them since some quotes will be on the tests. Overall this was a really boring class, but a very easy GE.

This class was super easy; it consisted of an in-class midterm and final which were essays. Sometimes the lectures were boring and you had to participate in discussion, but the content was not hard, it's just a lot of memorization of buildings and dates. There were quite a few readings however and 5 weekly responses to the readings that were 1 page each, but other than that it's pretty easy.
