William Waldron
RELI
This course went into depth on the types of Buddhism that exist in the world and how they differ based on their region. The material is very contained to Buddhism, so I'd reccommend that you have some sort of interest in the language. Also, the essays are very difficult to write if you don't do the readings, however, there are only 3 essays.
75% of our grade was based on 3 papers. by not doing will on one of them it made it so I couldn't get an A. There are tons of readings but you can get by without doing most of them. Class is pretty boring, Professor Waldron is knowledgable but doesn't present the material in a super interesting way.
Overall, this class is great for understanding Buddhism. Professor Waldron can be awkward at times, but he is passionate about teaching and is a fair grader. He is very accommodating when it comes to extensions.
