Professor Shutt is so sweet and very passionate about the topic. It's definitely an interesting class but there were weeks where the reading was insanely high, like way higher than any of my other engagements. She warns you ahead of time so it's not sprung onto you, but there were weeks where you had multiple hours of reading. There are reading quizzes each class and you pretty much have to do the reading to get a good score on those. If you put in the work to do all the readings, it's not hard at all to get an A in the class.
