Most Helpful Review
Fall 2022 - The two other reviews sum up the two ways people approach this class. I highly suggest you take the route of the 2022 review. If you view education as a game and this class as an easy A, then you're certainly not alone and your view is understandable in the scheme of our neoliberal, capitalist society. . But perhaps, take a look at that "game" and question its foundations, question whether that game is ideal. Then further question the extent to which you are strictly beholden to the ideals and paths our society espouses, and whether the life you are living is the life you would like to live. This doesn't have to be a fundamental rewriting, but maybe a reconsideration of some aspects. Listen to this class with open ears, discuss freely, and ponder the possibility of something different. That's my suggestion.
