goes over the material well and uses all material for the quizes. He gives you every oppurtunity to get a good grade. There are six quizes and he drops the lowest grade.

Comment:

not the most interesting class, but if you make the effort to go (he takes random attendance) and either take notes or look at them online... you'll be fine... 2 semi-big papers, 6 quizzes... drops the lowest grade, no final

It's hard to tell what's important and what is not. Random attendance, and not an easy class if you're not interested in the subject.

Comment:

no major tests just quizes and discussion group mojo. not a class to skip going to, but one you can sleep through. quizes were multiple choice and quite easy if you just skim a little of the text. his lectures are directly from the books.
