berg is not a very accommodating or enlightening instructor which is a shame for the course material. expect a lot of reading, quizzes at the start of each class that do not test on analysis capability but rather memorization. books are well-chosen but the courseload is intense and requires lots of additional reading time

I really enjoyed this class. Our only homework was to do the assigned reading, then we would do a short quiz on the material and discuss in class. The discussions were really fun and interesting, and I loved how simple the class was (no exams, papers, projects, etc). I did feel that it was not very organized - participation was 50% of our grade but we weren't given a rubric or anything, and it was really easy to lose points on the quizzes. But overall a really fun class if you're okay with a lot of reading.
