12/20/2022		Rankin is a cool guy and a decent professor. This class is definitely more chill, so if you want an easy A, I would suggest this course. His classes are definitely more discussion-based, and hardly any lecture-type style. A common downside to this is that I would say most classes seem dead since hardly everyone is super engaged. There is a decent amount of reading, so be ready for that. Most of the effort in this class should be dedicated to the readings and essays, and you'll do great :)

02/02/2022		Rankin was my teacher for AMST298Q/ENGL235, and he was a very accommodating and nice professor. I liked the discussion-based format of the class, and it's definitely a chill gen ed if you're looking to learn about other cultures in a stress-free environment.
