Absolutely loved this class! Very interesting, and brought up alot of topics you don't really talk about every day. Highly recommend it, but there is a fair amount of reading, as its DE.

Pretty depressing, clearly from the title. But interesting all the same. I took mine DE. It's a lot of teaching yourself, but if you can manage it and it's of interest to you go for it. Midterms for DE were just discussions. One group assignment too, a research paper. And each person is marked separately. So not so bad!
