Fall 2022 - This is a great course to take if you're seeking internship credit. There are no classes, just 5 bi-weekly meetings with a graduate student instructor. The graduate student is the one who will be evaluating your work. Each week there are 1-2 readings, and you're required to do a write-up each week on the readings. Your write-ups require you to incorporate elements from the reading to your internship site, and each week you begin to write components of your final paper. Because of this, you end up having most of your final paper completed by week 9 which makes completing it fairly easy. You need to conduct one interview with someone from your internship site and incorporate the interview into your final essay. As long as you do the readings each week and come up with a solid topic for your paper, you're baically guaranteed an A.

Winter 2020 - I went into this course thinking it would be a breeze since there's only 5 meetings & most of the effort is being put towards your internship. While I probably did rather well, I had to stay very on top of the assignments and scheduling appointments. There is a 2 page weekly assignment due on Sundays based off one or two weekly readings from academic journals. Warning: these do take time. You must read the reading in depth and write these short papers with concise, valid information. So give yourself time for them. He rarely gives 100%'s on these. Schedule ALL your meetings as soon as possible, as Jay is busy and can't accommodate last minute changes, especially towards the end of the quarter. If you miss / can't reschedule one meeting, you cannot pass the class. Theres an 8-12 page final paper based on your internship, 2 readings and 3 other academic sources. All in all, I learned way more than I thought I would in this class. But you have to make time for it and put effort in. Overall, pretty easy A if you follow the guidelines.
