This class has a lot of interesting topics and material -- however the TAs can really make or break how you do on your exams (I had a tough, unreasonable grader). Selling Taking Sides for $30. **********

Professor Suman is a great lecturer and all around great teacher. The content of the class is very interesting. However, the structure of the class is TERRIBLE. *Unless you need this class for Comm Major etc. heed my warning, DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS! Here's Why: To start, you will have 1 midterm, 1 paper and 1 final. That's it, there is no cushion room to mess up.
PROS: There are no other HW assignments and attendance is no mandatory, there are 20 pages of handwritten notes allowed for exams of readings.
CONS: You may NOT include ANY lecture notes in your 20 pages. Notes are turned in at the time of exam. Your paper will be handed back on the day of the final so you have no way of knowing where you stand until you step out of the class for the last time. The paper is very critically graded, all grammar, format, punctuation and content is crucial. Exam questions will include obscure things you thought were not important and didn't bother to study. Important things you spent hours studying will NOT even be there. The exams will be one sided papers and you will have maybe 5 cm width lines to write your response thats right 5 CENTIMETERS! *Talk about a Hand cramp!
Speaking of notes, If you should choose to take on this heavy challenge, I have detailed notes typed and ready to share if you need them Msg me at ********** Happy class searching!

I got As on both midterm and final, but they grade paper really really harsh. During office hour my TA said that my paper deserves at least an A, so I didn't pay much attention on details such as spelling and space. I ended up getting a B+, and if I had one thing to tell you guys, it is DETAILS!!! Imagine as if you're publishing a paper on a official magazine and you'll do fine. The exams are not hard as long as you remember everything. You don't have to memorize all his examples, but be sure to remember one for each concept that you feel confident to talk about. For the essay, just remember the main points and utilize it in your scenario. You don't have to include everything or reiterating the same things on the essay over and over again, but be sure to use the concept to your example! Definitely not an easy A but still doable.

I am selling the books for this class: /Losing the News/ -- $4; /You Just Do Not Understand/ by Tannen -- $4; /Taking Sides/ -- $20. If you buy all three books, the price is $25. The books are in good condition, but they are marked and underlined; I got them new, but I made notes and comments in some places as I was reading them. You will need to read all three books to succeed in this class. If interested, text me at **********.
