Sam is the shit!!! he will teach you soooooo much about life in general. But, in the process he will probably offend you in one way or another. His exams are a bit hard, just read the books and you'll pass. This might be the best course I've taken at Penn State.

Pros: Sam Richards is hilarious. he says the funniest things.
Cons: the course is about learning to understand JUST one idea. there's nothing really to study, so if you're book-oriented, the course might be difficult.
i look forward to sam richards' class every week; it is straight up fun.
