Spring 2025 - Probably my favorite class I have ever taken! I actually felt motivated to go to class and listen to the lectures. And for once, I never fell asleep during class. It is important to go to lecture because they are not recorded and I felt that the Professor's explanations of the case studies were necessary to understand the slides, but the content was so interesting that I did not mind and actually retained a lot just from listening. So much so that I didn't really need to study... There was a midterm and a final exam consisting of T/F, fill in the blank, short answer, and short essay questions. They were very straightforward! There are weekly readings (which I honestly never read because she would go over the cases in class) and 5 short, 50 word reflections. Overall, I definitely recommend taking this class with Professor Scelza! She is very knowledgeable and interested in this subject, which clearly shines through in this class. Super easy, super interesting!
