Professor Warren is awesome, however this class drove me crazy because of my TA, Charlie. He clearly had favorites in discussion and was a hard grader. I took my test to him during office hours and was able to argue back about 5 points due to him taking off for ridiculous things (I said Dorothy Day helped feed the poor rather than "opened soup kitchens"). In the end I got a B+
This class is unbelievably easy. Classes are a bit boring just go and take notes and you'll be sure to ace the test. She gives you a sheet with all of the possible terms/quotes/essay questions that could be on the test so all you have to do is make sure you know all of those and the tests are a breeze. Discussions really very section to section but I would highly recommend Mae-- she rocks and class is actually really interesting and you learn a lot. #tcf2016
Warren is an excellent professor who is very knowledgable about the subject. Lectures can be a bit dry and the Powerpoints are next to useless since they only contain images. However, weekly discussion is really helpful for delving into topics and getting to better understand a reading or some important ID's. She gives you a study guide that will have everything that's on the test, so the exams really aren't that difficult. The hardest part are the essays, and just trying to say everything in a concise way. This was a very informative class that satisfied two requirements and I'd recommend this to anyone trying to knock out prereqs or looking to explore! (This had several student athletes in the class, take that however you will.)
EDIT: I'm adding this note because I don't think anyone else has mentioned it: You do NOT need to buy a textbook for this class! I never really read it. The readings are all online, although I found that having a hard copy helped. The printed out copyshop packages of readings from previous years seemed to work just fine for this semester.
I definitely recommend this class, especially if you are looking for an easy A. Professor Warren is great! She is very engaging and incredibly knowledgable - she even sings in class sometimes! I thought it was important to go to lecture because while it may seem useless in the moment, I found it helped me when it came time to study. The biggest perk of this class is she gives you a study guide before every test, even the final, with what could possibly be on the test. You go over it in discussion and all you have to do it fill it out and memorize it. I did that and got high A's on both of the tests during the semester. I think discussion is pretty useless... didn't really learn anything more than I did in lecture. Biggest tip... do not buy the course packet. You may think you will actually do the readings, but you won't, and she puts it on collab. Even without reading, it's pretty easy to act like you know what you are talking about in discussion. I actually enjoyed the content of this class and would 100% recommend it to anybody looking for an easy class to lighten up their schedule.
This is a high school level course in terms of difficulty. Attend lecture, take notes, and know the stuff on the study guide (she tells you exactly what will be on each exam) and you will get an A. If you get less than an A, you screwed up somehow. Besides difficulty, class is somewhat interesting if you are interested in the subject... don't buy course packet. highly recommend if you are looking for a moderately interesting grade booster
