Professor: Earle Havens

(4.78)

Students found that the professor was the best aspect of this course. He was passionate about the material, actively engaged students during the discussions, and genuinely cared about seeing students succeed. The students had very few complaints, although they did wish they received more feedback on their works. They suggested a faster and more in-depth turnaround for feedback to help them improve their presentations and papers. Students highly recommended this class to anyone with an interest in the subject. Prospective students should also be prepared to read extensively and to spend ample time preparing and writing the final paper.
