Fall 2025 - I really enjoyed this class. It had four professors who all specialized in different things. There are three quizzes a quarter (you can drop one) and two papers. The workload is pretty light; there are only a few readings to do before each lecture. While I would recommend taking this class, Professor Vaughn was the worst of the four. Her lectures didn't make sense at all and were all over the place. When she spoke, it wasn't clear what we had to take notes on and remember for the exams. The content of her lectures was also just the most boring in general. While she isn't a great professer the others are and keep the class fun and engaging, so you should definitely take it!
