This course was a very intense experience, with hours of reading each week, three exams throughout the semester, and the occasional unit essay. I did find that the rigor of the class required me to dedicate real time to comprehending the material. In-class, it is absolutely essential to take thorough notes as his slides do not contain much information and the majority of the valuable information from class, information which you must know about for the exam, will come from what Prof says.

This course, although definitely interesting and you learn a lot, the Professor is not very accommodating and can be a harsh grader on tests and essays if not written the way he likes it. There are 3 exams and 2 essays; the exams got easier as you learn the format of his tests, which are all online. It is around 40 pages of reading from the textbook, along with notes on all the reading that you have to submit per class. This can be annoying, but it forces you to do the full reading and fully understand the text. It's a fun course, but If you can aim not to get prof Ardnt, I highly recommend it.

This class is heavy reading and consists of a lot of material so it is easy to fall behind. Although at times it was very time consuming, taking the class with Prof. Arndt who requires notes for each chapter was a way to stay on top of the material. The exams require critical thinking skills and is all based on the lectures and readings so there is no need to study outside of the content that is presented to you. The papers had unique prompts that examine your knowledge on multiple concepts and requires you to combine it to answer the prompt. Overall it is enjoyable if you have genuine interest in the subject.
