Comment:

The class is borderline boring and not terribly informative. The fact that the Professor obviously is too busy to be there half the time doesn't help either. The recommended/required reading list consists mostly out of books he wrote or translated. Skip this one, I?d say. Who cares who is daughter is?

Excellent course. Go to the TA sessions to get the most out of this course. When I took the course, Prof. Thurman was available before class to answer questions, etc.

He doesn't listen. Arrogant as hell. Nice outside of class but too busy cavorting with the Dalai Lama to make office hours.

Ducks questions about his weak arguments in his books that do no justice to the Tibetan people and their religion.
