Lots of reading but relatively easy class

The class consisted of biweekly reflection readings, writing three reading questions per week, a midterm paper, and multiple choice final. There were a lot of assigned readings, but discussions went over everything. In discussion, two people presented a summary of the weekly readings and films showed in class. Lemelson spent lecture talking about his own studies in Indonesia and showed the films he made, which I found to be pretty interesting. Lectures were not mandatory, but Lemelson did say that two pop quizzes would be given in class as a way to get people to come to lecture. My TA was pretty lenient on grading assignments, but I heard that other TAs graded harder. It was difficult to study for the final because we didn't know what was on it, but I think the questions were pretty straightforward and guessable. I think most people did well on the final. Overall, I found the class to be pretty easy and interesting.
