I took this class a fairly long time ago, but there were no exams and it was just papers. I believe one paper for midterm and the final was another one. Nothing longer than 10 pages. The content was interesting and my TA was fairly helpful during discussion.

Super chill class, would definitely recommend! No attendance (except for discussion) + recorded lectures, weekly assignments were discussion posts about topics of the week, and two big assignments: a manifesto during midterms & a final research paper. All assignments were graded pretty lax in my opinion, and the class itself was very interesting!! Also, Dr. Hunter gave us an extension on the manifesto assignment after the election results, so safe to say he's very understanding!!

Professor Hunter is passionate about the material, but his lectures are boring—luckily, you don't ever have to go to them. This class is graded entirely by TAs on essays/projects and discussion participation. You will be expected to read (you can skim) a few articles every week, write Canvas discussion posts about them, and talk about them in discussion. There is also a manifesto project and final essay, which make up almost all of the grade. My TA Ren was reasonable and approachable, and also a very fair grader. And even though this was an easy GE at the end of the day, it was still very interesting.
