Great class, one of the best I've taken at UVa! Vickerman is very knowledgeable and makes lecture fun and worthwhile to attend. Only one research paper, and midterms and final were easy short answer. Definitely worth taking this class.

This is a fantastic class! Vickerman is awesome and very relaxed. He gives out extensions on papers without a problem and is very approachable. One of the best course I've taken at UVA. Julia is a little intense as a T.A. but she does help to get you thinking about the material discussed in lectures.

Vickerman is a pretty funny character--this class is not inherently difficult if you write a decent paper and review class notes for the final, that being said it was still a very valuable course. The material is highly applicable to everyones' life and will make you see the world through new eyes. Definitely recommend. Also, Julia Schroeder is foxy.

TA Julia Schroeder was awesome and so was Prof. Vickerman. Very easy and interesting class. Weekly readings aren't too bad at all.

Great fun interesting class. One paper, have an idea of what you want to write about it and talk to him as soon as possible, keep meeting with him and get feedback. Go to office hours he's interesting to talk to! Final isn't bad, you either know it or you don't, no trick questions. Favorite class at UVA so far!

The best sort of class you can hope for. Professor who is fair, interested, grades generously. TA who is extremely helpful. Fascinating subject -- one that every single UVA student should take, especially those from more homogeneous backgrounds. Will change the way you see the world, in a good way.

Simple class but make sure you do good on the paper because its a big chunk of your grade. Discussion really helps to boost your grade. Make sure he knows you because it will help you when he gives out grades. Overall, a cool person and easy to talk to.

Vickerman is the sweetest. The class was the most diverse as far as students that I've had at UVA. The work is mostly readings each week which are cool and relevant but you can get away without doing them mostly. There is one big (12pg) paper and a final. THe paper can be anything you want and its graded easily. This was one of my favorite classes I've taken. Not too difficult and you get some good conversations going if you have a decent TA. And you watch a lot of movies too

great class! you have to write a 12-15 page paper, but it's on the topic of your choice. take this class!

Good class, pretty easy if you go to class and participate in discussion. Interesting material as well
