Fulya Pinar

The course is very content-heavy in the beginning and a lot is expected of you early-on. Adjusting to her style of teaching and the weekly discussion posts can be quite challenging, but becomes very manageable and fun by the end of the semester. We had two papers and two presentations. The class really feels like a welcoming community by the end of the semester. You'll learn a lot that you didn't expect!

Prof Pinar is so passionate about the subject which made the lectures very interesting. Everything was always explained in depth and the projects, even though challenging, provided valuable insights into the course material. There is a TON of readings for this class but I enjoyed most of them and you can totally get by just by skimming them. Prof Pinar can be very strict at times but is usually happy to accommodate.

Professor Pinar is great and cares a ton about the subject. The papers are interesting and readings can be too, but you definitely get what you put into this class. You can skip the readings and learn very little or engage with them heavily and learn a great deal as well as have some very interesting in-class discussions or explorations of the topics in essays. Just be prepared to do the readings if you want to learn anything!
