I had no expectations for this course but was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it and that largely has to do with the great professor. Witkin is a super sweet guy, super passionate about the material and is also very lenient with grading; I remember some students turning in writing assignments months after they were due. Great class, but honestly the enjoyment of the class is largely dependent on how enthusiastic and invested your fellow classmates are as the course requires a lot of student led discussions (my classmates weren't the most passionate).

I always love Professor Chaplin's passion in her teaching. The discussion sessions are very fruitful and are heavily based on assigned readings. If you don't read and think, it is hard to get involved. We have no exams but 4 papers: the first one is short, and the remaining are all 1800 words long. Professor Chaplin would like to see how you develop your thoughts using primary sources and the pace of reading and writing is comparatively fast.

The course was very dependent on the readings and honestly it felt like Professor Ganiban's lectures were just summaries of what we had to read. He uses slideshows but I wouldn't say that they're particularly geared towards being accessible for post-lecture review. The best part of this class however was the flexibility the professor would give us for the major writing assignments. I appreciated the opportunity to write about what actually interested me regarding the readings
