While the readings are sometimes boring, the discussions and conversations are awesome. They may seem casual but everything is connected. Be involved with the class discussions, pay attention to lectures, do the readings and you'l be fine. Not many exams but a huge chunk of the class are projects and papers. Lots of creative activities, debates, and writing. The class is very... independent learning. If you fail it's because you chose not to pay attention. Great class and educational but fun!

Mr. Ferris cares about his students. Always looks out for us. Honestly we don't deserve him. Very chill but also very smart and has more of an older sibling vibe rather than a strict teacher. You can always go to him if you need help! Take advantage of that because not all teachers are as understanding and patient
