Ted Sasson
I found this class really eye opening. I originally took the class for a distribution requirement but it ended up being one of my favorite classes I have ever taken at Middlebury. I will carry the information I learned with me for the rest of my life.
This was a reading heavy course but the material was all relevant to Professor Sasson's lectures and topics in class. He is very passionate and well informed about this topic and my writing imporved throughout the semester. There are four papers (including a final paper) and are all 4-6 pages based on the reading and lecture materials.
I thought the course was really interesting and the instructor was very fair and accommodating towards students. I will say that it was pretty reading heavy since we only had 4 papers towards our grade but no actual homework besides the readings that went towards your paper. It was really well structured.
