Spring 2022 - This class was very straightforward and not super difficult as long as you went to lecture and read the readings (I stopped doing them halfway through because I got lazy). His quizzes aren't super hard, but you definitely have to pay attention during the lectures if you want to do well. I enrolled in this class seeing that it had high reviews on Bruinwalk, but in the end I was super disappointed. In my opinion, the material just isn't super interesting and my biggest takeaway from the class is that with a few exceptions, Time Travel as a genre of literature is very mid. Take that with a grain of salt though because I'm an engineering major, and I'm sure some other people in the class enjoyed it a lot more than me.
