To survive Professor Torezani's class you must do every single assignment and be on time to all due dates or you will NOT pass. This class requires three pages essays every week in addition. You have a ten page final paper that a third of the grade at the end of the course that if you do not do well on you fail.

Awful
Professor Torezani requires three books and expects you to read 2 chapters before every class. In addition, there is a discussion paper, a case study and a final debate paper. I thought of dropping because it is a lot of work for an elective.
