Prof. Aubry is one of the best professors I've taken in Baruch. As a capstone course, it was a great journey from in class to virtual learning but as a class, we all engaged in our weekly zoom sessions. Participation really matters and he gives great feedback on your papers. He loves to teach and it truly shows. Overall great prof, truly recommend.

Waste of time. You don't learn much. Busy work but easy to do well. Avoid if you can.

So many papers

Revisions on all papers so the og grade is 1/3 and the final draft is 2/3 of the grade. Two 4-6p papers, a 8-10p research paper, a documentary on the same topic, 2 reading response papers (1-2p), 1 blog post that you present. Journal entries (a few sentences) due each class based on readings. Super nice guy and will give extensions if you need
