If you want an easy, boring class this is for you. Did I learn much of anything? no. Did I have to do the readings? no. Theres four assignments for the whole course: a media presentation, a research probe, a group presentation and a final paper. This class is co taught and the dynamics between Spears and Ralph are very entertaining, they are nice guys who are very interested in Chicago unfortunately this class and the readings are incredibly dull. They also are very easy grader and give little to no feedback. If you need an easy class with little work this is a good one, but don't expect to learn much.

The content itself was very interesting, though Professor Joo didn't seem super enthusiastic / passionate in class. There are a lot of readings, but she goes over the content again in class so you can kind of pick and choose which homework you want to do. Interesting a laid back.

I really enjoyed this course this past semester. It covered very interesting material if you are interested in the American lifestyle. We discussed violence within music and music videos, video games, movies, tv shows, true crime, and American culture. There can be a lot of readings depending on the week, but they are all generally pretty interesting and you can definitely get away with not doing all of the readings. There are reading quizzes, but they are open note and he lets you work in groups to complete them. Also, there are four essays over the semester relating to the material but you only have to complete three of them and they are only three to four pages. Other than that, there is not much else graded work aside from the final project. You can tell professor Lint really cares about his student and checks in on us constantly as you deal with some pretty extreme material within this course. Overall, I really enjoyed my time in this course and would definitely take it again if given the chance.
