That sounds like a fabulous class! The only class I took on Renaissance Italy ended up being all about the humanistic ideas that developed from cishet men of property so we spent a lot of time debating free will and whatnot while what I wanted to know is WHAT HAPPENED THEN? Not what ideas we have now developed then, WHAT DID PEOPLE DO?

I don't think I was the only person who was disgruntled with the direction the class took because the prof sat down at one point and carefully explained that that was what the class was--which was not the description in the course catalog--on the day AFTER we could drop for no penalty.

I mostly checked out at that point, doing just enough work to scrape either a C+ or a B-.
