Review:
This was one of my favorite classes b/c it helped me make sense of my own philosophical/political views. In class, mostly Prof. Kelly lectures and writes a few notes on the board. The lectures help clarify and summarize the dense reading. A few times she asks for students? viewpoints or a student will ask a question. Most of your interaction would be w/ your TA in recitations.

Optional Writing Workshop: Take this for more interaction w/ the Prof. and to have classmates peer review your rough drafts for class papers (which means finishing a rough draft the weekend before the paper is due). You?re given a marble notebook (free), in which you write answers to questions Kelly poses at the beginning of almost each workshop. Then, there's a discussion. Kelly also gives general some writing tips.

Workload:
Mostly reading (dense but interesting), 3 5-pg papers, and a closed book final exam (ID court cases and short essays. Study guide has 5 essay questions, 2 of which are on the exam).
