This course was co-taught by Professor Prakash and Professor Lee. The variance in teaching styles helped keep things fresh; Lee was energetic and inquisitive, while Prakash was knowledgeable and savvy. The course basically does a overarching run-through of the IGS major and the different facets of it. Definitely reading-heavy and includes some dense topics, however, once you understand them, it's applicable to more aspects of life than you would expect. The couple essays are really looking for application of concepts, so if you do that, you should score well. If I was a STEM major, I would have nightmares about this class. Would heavily consider taking again!

I had Prof. Prakash & Prof. Lee this semester. They alternated each week with different teaching styles. The readings are very long each lecture but you can get away with not reading them. Make sure to prepare for the discussions on Friday as participation is graded.

I took this class with Prof. Lee and Prakash. Overall, I found it hard to keep up due to the split teaching styles and the dense material and topics we covered. They were pretty tough graders, but they only gave us 250 words max on our papers, so I found it hard to elaborate fully, given the minimal word count. We covered some interesting topics in class, but we only briefly went over them, so if you want to focus on a topic you're passionate about, maybe take a different class.
