Michael Sheridan

A loooot of reading. Every week - the reading response to the reading for the week. No exams, Prof Sheridan doesn't believe in the effectiveness of exams, so we had papers. The course load: 3 paper (3.5 pages each), participation in discussions and the final project - read a book (your choice of book and topic), make a presentation about your proposed topic based on the book, write a paper (10-12 pages).

Professor Sheridan took some time to get used to. His lecture style is very go with the flow and just teach to what his class seems interested in that day. The readings and discussions were very interesting and applicable. He is a harsh grader for sure but my writing and analysis grew quickly because of it.

This course was full of interesting and engaging material. The readings/films were interesting to read and I enjoyed learning about the different groups of people around the world. I feel like the course opened my mind to different styles of living. Professor Sheridan is very kind and clearly cares a lot about the material. He is very experienced and has great stories. The work is very manageable, but the grading is tough. It is difficult to get A's on assignments which can be frustrating.
