Spring 2025 - This was such a fun class! I took this to see whether I would want to do the science education minor, and I had a great time. I had a really good time with the field visits, even though my site was a little far by bus, and making and executing a lesson plan was a great experience. It was different from anything else I was doing at school, and it definitely made my quarter better. Attendance is required but you can lowkey just fill out the google form on canvas for attendance if you can't be there, or just talk to the professor. The weekly seminars are fun and engaging, they mostly consist of talking to your partners or the class about readings and videos. The final project and presentation don't take too much time to put together.
