Review:
In my opinion, Professor Eichenberg is probably the most overrated professor I have had at Tufts. He is a very easygoing, congenial guy, but unfortunately that does very little for his class. He often gets carried away on off-topic questions, and subsequently can get very far behind. He tries to run a 200 person lecture like a seminar, and while that is admirable, it becomes more annoying than helpful. Also, do not take his review sessions for granted, because there are topics he brushed off in questions that then appeared on the midterm.

Workload:
This is an intro weed-out course, so there is a lot of reading. Workload really depends on what TA you have. There is a midterm and final, and a 7 page critical analysis essay.
