Spring 2019 - This class was very easy, and at times, fairly informative. I only got an A- because I barely showed up to class and missed class on the day of one of the quizzes, which I couldn't make up. The class is taught by Rena Orenstein, Angelia Leung, and the TA, Cameron Brandt. They're all very kind and helpful, and I feel bad that I didn't get an A. I think if you learn from my mistakes and attend class (or at least don't miss the quizzes), you should definitely get an A. The class helps you reflect on life, how you currently view it, and how to move forward. Independent of my grade, I still gave every metric a 5/5 since the class was well-taught.

Fall 2020 - It’s a good class if you’re looking for upper div credits. Professor expects a lot of participation ranging from weekly discussion boards to speaking in class. Work is easy but time consuming. I didn’t read more than 1 article of reading assignments for this class so you can get away without doing the reading as long as you listen to the lectures. Class is very personal and will ask you to share private details of your life when doing your assignments, presentation, and final 10 page reflection essay (easier than it sounds). The one quiz we had was tough since the professor wouldn’t give us a study guide so I recommend reviewing material regularly in the course. Take this class if you don’t mind busy work and need the credits.
