Overall, I really enjoyed this course. Sorber was extremely friendly and such a "bro."He was excellent at explaining things during discussion and office hours. However, his harsh grading surprised me. To do well in this course, you must constantly go to office hours and keep up with the long readings. Out of the TAs, Sorber is definitely the best. Just beware of his grading. Do your best on EVERYTHING & DEFINITELY participate in discussion. If you don't, your grade will suffer immensely.

I thought Drew was a very good TA. He was largely approachable and made the subject interesting - it's clear he's really passionate about it. He's also a funny guy who does stuff like show Monty Python videos in class, which is great. His grading is not easy, but nor is it unfair.
