The class was asynchronous and super easy. There is one required textbook but there are only a few assignments for the whole course and he grades fairly easily.

Super interesting guy, gives out food in class. A few small assignments, 2 larger assignments (very doable), and SUPER easy exams - 10 multiple choice, 1 essay question. Material is very interesting!

Comment:
Pretty easy class overall. There's reading every week (super boring) and weekly reading assignments which are easy enough if you skim the reading. Lectures are crazy boring, but you should show up just so that you're not cramming last minute before the exams. 2 midterms, no final. 1 book report and some in-class exercises. Easy A.

Comment:
Manalansan was very understanding and approachable during the online course I took. I missed a quiz the first week because I hadn't expected one due the first Wednesday, and I emailed him and he extended the due date. His tests and assignments were very reasonable and manageable. He is flexible and offers plenty of extra credit.

Absolutely brilliant powers of analysis! Learned to change scope of issues from the local to the global and back from this guy! Patient and a great sense of humor. Treats students as intellectuals and fosters safe class discussions.

i took this as an undergrad. it was an easy A but a waste of time. he assigns you a ton of books. you have to buy all of them but dont have to read them to be able to write the papers. for a 4 hour class, its an easy A. my roomie &i switched off going to class bc it was so boring. hes really into talking about The Senses but lets u out early.

Easiest teacher ever. Plenty of extra credit. Notes aren't online, but as long as you attend class it should be an easy A.

Comment:
By far, the easiest class I have taken at the university. The midterm and final took 15 minutes, and the questions were taken directly from the lecture notes. The class is scheudled for and hour and twenty minutes, but he ends lecture after 45 minutes. If you need an easy A, I highly suggest taking this course.
