Spring 2021 - This class is great with Amy! She's super inclusive and understanding that students have lives outside of school. She was flexible with deadlines, and it was really easy to approach her for more time. She challenges the power dynamic of the classroom, which I really enjoyed. This class didn't have any tests, but we did have to write a few papers but they weren't too much. She connected the information from this class to what is happening present day, and it was super interesting learning about the political scenes of other countries. I would definitely take this class again and would recommend it to anyone looking for an easy class.

Spring 2025 - Prof. Ritterbusch is so amazing. She is truly passionate about doing research and with and for communities rather than on them, and that really shined through in the way she structured this class. I personally enjoyed every lecture and felt like I had gained many insights. Prof. Ritterbusch and the teaching team in this class were overall very understanding, accommodating, and willing to help. The class essentially consisted of a quarter-long project in we conducted out own qualitative research that composed of 2 interviews and 1 focus group. The workload was was manageable and honestly enjoyable. I truly recommend this class. Choose a research topic that you feel passionately about, engage in the lectures, and you will love it!
