Honestly, to pass the class you have to write about something she is passionate about. She gave me a C on a paper because she didn't agree with my stance on the subject. She's the hippie type so writing about saving the world somehow or how to conserve is what saved me. She's fine if you just need the credit.

She lets you out early. Grades consist of 3 essays the third one is your final. Most of the class time is used on preparing a thesis for your essays. Every class there's group work to talk about different articles related to the topics of the essays you are going to write. Extra credit is given for showing a talent you have or reading your essay.

The readings are so easy but have so much meaning and the assignments are so easy and have clear examples, it is impossible to not get an A in the class and if I had questions, the professor would meet with me in the course room online.
