05/08/2024		He's a bit of a yapper and the class can be pretty dull, but you would be hard-pressed to find an easier humanities gen-ed. We only wrote two papers (one being the final) and he is incredibly flexible about deadlines. The topics of the papers are also self-determined with some loose guidelines so you can write about pretty much anything, and his feedback is always super thoughtful and helpful. Attendance is not mandatory plus he records all of the classes. There are usually readings to do before each class but they don't take that long. All in all, he just really wants his students to succeed, and as long as you demonstrate some effort he will help you do that.
