This course is a bunch of reading and Professor Heller expects you to read it completely. I found her to be a very difficult professor. To be honest, I didn't really like this course (but that might be because of the topic itself). This course evolved around writing a HUGE 12-15 paper on a topic that had something to do with Zen Buddhism. Not gonna lie, I would not take this course again. More work and trouble than it was worth. Definitely not an easy A.
