Great professor! He wore a different pair of glasses every class session and I couldn't tell whether or not he was being sarcastic, which made his commentary on student video submissions over Zoom absolutely HILARIOUS.

I didn't think that the readings were helpful unless I needed to reference them for the midterm + final. Timmermans pretty much articulates the midterm questions out via lecture & references which readings are relevant for each topic. I'd highly recommend attending lecture and which readings Timmermans covers / discusses in class.

Overall, super fun class & the professor seemed really engaged :)

This Fiat Lux is super interesting and engaging! The topic matter was relevant to current events and very informative. The only thing that was not ideal about the class was that because it was every other week each seminar was 2 hours of straight discussion. At times I found it difficult to concentrate. Otherwise I am very glad I took this class - the readings were short and easy and the discussions were very eye-opening. I will miss Professor Timmermans!
