| Stauffer and Unger are rock stars. Both incredibly smart and articulate. They led the class with a podcast–style lecture that was fun (though sometimes dragged if the week's readings weren't interesting or if the class wasn't asking questions), and the assignments were doable. Section component was honestly awesome as most students were interested in the subject matter. This class is definitely lecture–style so don't expect this to be an intimate seminar. |
| would recommend taking the course |
| I would advise against taking this class. If you are interested in the content, just read Unger's writings. Lectures are repetitive restatements of the ideas within. I was frustrated by the unwillingness to discuss ideas that did not fall neatly within the framework developed by Unger. Weekly section (for undergraduates) was dreadful. |
