PLPT 3200

Balfour is probably the best or second-best instructor I've had at UVa. She is clearly the most knowledgeable scholar on Grounds regarding her subject matter, and her lectures find the perfect balance between thought-provoking, challenging, and engaging.
The class is set up with two 50 min lectures and an evening section. Jean-Marc was a fantastic TA and would highly recommend him. I think Balfour is especially good because although her ideas and theory are so organized and profound, she explains everything in a way that is neither basic nor confusing.

Readings are great; not too long, and the structure of the class makes for easy accountability between class meetings. Midterm is easy, final is too. 10/10
