Dr. Fong is an amazing lecturer and my TA (Ghaliah) was also amazing! The content was pretty clear and lectures were easy to follow. I went to a majority of the lectures, but you don't really need to go to as long as you read the slides, but the class is not recorded. The only thing that I didn't enjoy about the class is how long the readings were (~80 pages per lecture) and she kept stressing how important the readings were.
As for grading, the scale is relatively simple and she makes it easy to do well in the class. There was an individual project, a group project, and some discussion posts for grades. The midterm was in-person and was like an FRQ from AP testing. The final was optional and online.
Overall, this class is more work than it appears to be just because of the amount of reading required each week, the projects, and annoying discussion posts that Fong tries to make fun. But the teaching staff was incredible. I would definitely take this class if you're interested in the topic, but would probably recommend another class if you're just trying to fulfill a GE or diversity requirement like I was.
