Comment:
Show up, take some notes, and participate. Discussions were the best part of this course, especially since it's so small (honors section). Exams are easy if you just review your notes the night before and are able to compose a clear, argumentative essay. Would definitely take again.

Comment:
Lecture was pointless - he read directly off his powerpoints then posted them online, so you could just read the lecture there. Annoying that you cannot use laptops to take notes, lest you browse facebook instead of pay attention! Very easy if you read his slides; if you understand those you don't even really need the book.

Comment:
Going to class isn't necessary; he just reads off the slides verbatim. Also, don't bother buying the textbook, as the readings will only confuse you more.Instead,review PowerPoints on HuskyCT before discussion,where there is a true/false quiz or 1 page essay each week.Hope for a good TA like Noah Sharpsteen,who was more engaging than the professor.

Comment:
The guy thinks he's the new Socrates. In love with the sound of his voice, but very unoriginal as a teacher. Boring and unfair. I would stay away from this clown.

One of the most boring professors I have ever had. Maybe it's the material we go over in class, but I do NOT recommend this class to anybody who is not taking this specifically for their major.

A very difficult class...this was back in 1998 or 1999. But I found him very thoughtful and very structured. As a result, we got a lot done in that class. But it was still work
