Comments on the course

The course is recorded so even if you miss a class you can go back and watch the lecture witch was a nice thing but I still recumbent going to class.

Course Content

The course has 3 main topics (housing, fashion, energy) which is tide together though colonialism and capitalism. The course covers social problems which I found very interesting. There is 2 midterms, one essay, and a final exam. All exams are allowed a cheat sheet.

Comments on the professor

Rafi made the class very fun and interesting to learn. He also was very supportive with helping student write the essay and head office hours a lot to help students. Really nice and good at explaining things.

Advice

Go to class and do the readings as much as possible (the readings will be on the exam).

Comments on the course

Class was fun but you need to study a lot outside of class.

Course Content

The course is a bigger level French course. There are 3 mid terms, one group project, oral exam, final exam. The course is very attendance heavy. It's hard to fail but you need to work hard if you want a good grade.

Comments on the professor

The teacher made class a fun experience and cares about the students. However, she talk very fast with a thick French accent so it's hard to understand sometimes.

Advice

I would recommend reviewing the text book before class and doing the workbook after class. Also, the online version of the textbook is not that great so recommend buying the physical version even if it costs a bit more.

Comments on the course

The course covered a wide range of content relating to archeology ranging from data analysis to politics. In the tutorial class we made a stone tool and made a bead from a shell and wrote our final term report on it. The class is not recorded but the slide are posted.

Course Content

The couse doesn't have any mid terms but has two essay/report and a final exam. There is assigned reading with each class and a reading quiz about once a month.

Comments on the professor

The prof was really nice and answered any questions in depth.

Advice

Try to do the reading as much as possible even if it's a lot at times and go to class.

Prof: Max Dolinsky / Fall 2025

Comments on the course

Not a single concept explained through a lecture. Dolinsky should be put under review for how this class was taught. Based on what I have heard about the class in general, this semester was especially difficult. The relationship between the class's concept and how the y manifest in the real world seemed to be this professors focus, unfortunately we only got to hear about the "real world" and not so much about what the syllabus outlines as what we were supposed to learn. Exams were make or break based on the number of questions Dolinsky grabbed from whatever he was feeling the day he made the exam, not necessarily what was covered in lectures, in practice problems, or on the exam study guides. Crazy to have a paywalled article as a source of exam questions. I highly recommend Study Edge, Ma...read more

Course Content

The Banko lectures did contain useful information on how to think about a super wide variety of business concepts, and some of the mechanics be hind them.

Comments on the professor

Nice guy, Obviously extremely intelligent. Most helpful thing he communicated what some solid fundamentals on personal finance, and some interesting out of context walkthroughs on beta's and mortgages. NOT good at covering any class material.

Advice

I am going to make an educated guess that Banko would be a more math/concept focused exam creator. Had this final not been 50% Bullshit questions I believe the class would have been more balanced.
