    Quarter Taken: Winter 2022 In-Person
    Grade: A

    honestly... the perusall readings did not need to be completed to make your weekly comments. the lectures were super engaging, I really enjoyed Fong and Brown's lectures specifically. depending on your TA, you'll get a little more/less out of the course. there's not a midterm exactly, but there is a paper due week 7 that you work on throughout the quarter up to that point. final is posted monday of finals week and you are given until wednesday to answer the prompts.

    Easy but lots of readings. Discussion sucks

    Quarter Taken: Winter 2022 In-Person
    Grade: A

    Pretty much the same class as 20A. The final is also pretty much the same so expect that. The only thing different is that instead of the literary analysis you do an oral history report which has you interviewing someone and writing an essay on it.
