Professor Levine is super sweet and extremely knowledgeable. She cares about her class and her students. The class itself can be a bit difficult as she's a pretty tough grader.

Comment:
Lectures are not all the relevant to the exams. Much of the readings are not covered in detail in class but expected to be evident in course papers and exams. Overall, her lectures are entertaining but I didn't find a correlation between assigned reading (boring) and lectures (engaging).

Comment:
Great lecturer. Interesting topics, stories & films. She's pretty lively and energetic. Have to know the readings well for midterms. (2 and a final) Overall not that bad of a class. Sometimes she can be harsh. IE make sure everyone says they've done the reading otherwise she'll skip over it in lecutre because you haven't "done your part"

Anyone who says this class is extremely difficult did not show up to the lectures or read any of the books. As long as you read and show up you will do well in Prof. Levine's class. She's very flexible about assignment dates and helpful with papers.

Comment:
Levine is very knowledgeable and makes the class interesting. If you want a teacher who is really smart and knows what they're talking about and are willing to put in a little extra work take this class. If you are looking for a class to completely slack off in don't.

Comment:
Professor Levine is very knowledgeable. A lot of reading- the quizzes are random but aren't hard as long as you read. The midterm wasn't difficult at all, probably easier if you've had a background in history classes in high school. You have two papers but they aren't that bad. The grading is fair and the class is interesting, not a bad choice.

Comment:
One of the worst professors in USC. Way too much reading. Illogical grading system. Lectures are too fast. Not very friendly. Very boring subject full of useless knowledge that you will never use. Extremely difficult tests with a very limited amount of time. Registering PASS/FAIL is highly recommended.
