Winter 2021 - Do yourself a favor and take this course with Professor Howard! He is beyond one of the most caring, respectful, and compassionate professors I have had at my time at UCLA. He's always there to listen to students and invites all to his office hours to discuss the course further or just to chat about life. My TA was Destiny, and she was a great addition to the course! The course consisted of 3 GQR's--short one-page, single-spaced responses to the readings due every two weeks--a midterm that was 5-6 pages double, spaced that involved incorporating the readings and connecting them to your own school experience and how your race, class, and gender all played a role, and lastly, a final. The final was a research paper of 6-8 pages double-spaced with a topic and research question of your choice. I would recommend this course to anyone who needs a requirement for the education studies minor or education major--even those who need a GE would enjoy this course. This course has changed the way I think about my schooling experience and the others around me. It was a pleasure to have Professor Howard during such an unprecedented time of COVID.

Prof. Hunter is overall a great professor who is interested in everyone learning and relating from the readings and lectures. He's very well organized with powerpoints and is very approachable in person or through email. I strongly recommend the class if you're interested in education and/or social justice and in answering curiosities about your own education experience. The midterm is not that hard but you have to prove you've been doing the reading so that's one thing you can't fall behind on.
