Really interesting class. You could tell that the professor was very passionate about the subject. The lectures were more like class-wide conversations about what we had read/watched. Very chill and fun.
You have to read and watch all of the material to understand what’s going on because she has quizzes during class that count for points. You also have to participate for at least half of the classes to get the full participation points but it’s honestly really easy. The midterm and finals were chill if you studied, I created Quizlet that saved my life so check those out for sure.
