Great class to take for a 5000 level class. You do learn a lot although not much reading is involved.

Bon is very enthusiastic about the topic but lectures are usually all over the place. Not too much reading though and you have one paper of topic of your choice and a final. If you need structure in your lectures, i wouldn't recommend this class.

Bonvillian always goes off on a tangent and likes to mention people he knows so focusing in class can sometimes be a challenge. 90% of your grade is based on a research paper and the final essay test (he'll give all the questions beforehand).
