Actually love Prof Pryal, super fun lecturer, actually passionate. THIS CLASS IS NOT AN EASY A*** I was part of his first class so curriculum may change, but the class currently has reading quizzes, midterm, mini essays, and discussion points. There's actually quite a bit of reading and the reading quizzes are designed so if you don't read in depth you are going to fail them. They were super obscure and asked for hyper specific details (may change format), and the mini essays are extremely nonsensical. I passed most of the reading quizzes except for 2, but everyone was in agreeance about how annoying they were. Class is extremely back loaded and the essays were pretty unclear on how exactly you are supposed to get an A on them. You are required to give peer review, but even then that's not a grader grading. I took this class for an easy A, but I think I'll be finishing with a B, and that's with me putting in actual effort. Class content is lowkey actually interesting, but for a person like me who is just looking for easy classes to fulfill requirements, I would not recommend this class to people with a similar mindset.
