The course has no prerequisites and is open to all undergraduates, but anyone enrolling should be prepared to think hard, read deeply, question preconceived notions, and work.

"This was by far the best course I have taken in my four semesters at Cal. As the semester progressed, I found myself discussing material from the class every day. I really appreciated Reich's method of teaching, especially the ways that he engaged students in the lectures."

"I loved the way Professor Reich broke down the topics we covered. It was easy to understand and the points he raised really made me think."

"His energy and love for sharing his knowledge with us is apparent in so many ways."
