Reviews
Quite funny sometimes, but oftentimes just a regular listen, take notes, no interaction, type of lectures. Almost everything was directly from lecture and there was not much of a need for outside work at all. The essays are graded rather harshly but the final grade is not objectively based off submitted work.
Test material was directly from lecture notes. The papers were straight forward, and the professor was helpful during office hours.
