Excellent class with a very good teacher that was ruined by the remote learning format. 5 books read over time. About 50 pages of reading before each class session, 3 short essays, and 1 long essay. I found that the discussions often felt superficial because of a lack of participation on Zoom.

Professor Kaplan is kind and gives really good feedback on essays, and offers a lot of help when you need it and a lot of due date extensions if you ask her.

Read ALL the material the day before it's due and come to class ready to participate, which will leave you doing alright.
