Fall 2024 - This class was really easy. I'm not even a humanities major, and I thought it was really easy. The amount of your grade that is just participation credit is very high, and the essays are graded quite leniently. I think the average was around a B+ for essays in my section. Your TA makes or breaks this class, and my TA kind of sucked. It was obvious she didn't want to be there, but Professor Parasher was great. His lectures were engaging and interesting, which is a feat given some of the readings we had. The readings themselves are very tedious, but I managed to write every essay without ever fully reading anything, so I wouldn't worry too much about finishing all of them.

Spring 2025 - I think Dr. P is a generally good professor, his lectures are interesting and engaging, I think he assigns A LOT of dense reading, but he is honestly not very helpful or nice. He also talks so fast and it takes a lot of mental energy to keep up with his lectures. I more have an issue with TA Josey Tom, DO NOT TAKE THIS TA. He is mean and horrible, and not approachable AT ALL. I have his 8am discussion and he is honestly so horrible when its obvious its early on a friday and everyone is tired etc, he is just berating and gets very condescending when no one answers his questions, even if you answer right he doesn’t seem to care and then will just go on with his own idea of the right answer. Both TA and prof just aren’t approachable on a level of understanding on a person to person level and almost have a coldness to them.
