Professor Krentz is a great teacher who is very kind, excited, and understanding. He is a relatively tough grader, but is always willing to talk about papers and he provides helpful feedback. His grading system consists of 3 papers, a final exam, and participation. This class relies pretty heavily on reading, though you can get away with not doing the reading every night. Class is always discussion-based and often he splits you up during class into groups. If you put in the time, you'll definitely get at least a B in this class.
