Most Helpful Review
Fall 2020 - It’s a good class if you’re looking for upper div credits. Professor expects a lot of participation ranging from weekly discussion boards to speaking in class. Work is easy but time consuming. I didn’t read more than 1 article of reading assignments for this class so you can get away without doing the reading as long as you listen to the lectures. Class is very personal and will ask you to share private details of your life when doing your assignments, presentation, and final 10 page reflection essay (easier than it sounds). The one quiz we had was tough since the professor wouldn’t give us a study guide so I recommend reviewing material regularly in the course. Take this class if you don’t mind busy work and need the credits.

Spring 2020 - I took this class online because of COVID-19. Professor Scorza was engaging in lectures. We practiced meditation during every session. However, it is not an 'easy A.' You must put in a lot of work for the assignments. There were 4 weekly logs, 4 quizzes, a presentation, a midterm paper (5-8 pages), and a final paper (10-15 pages). A LOT OF WORK. Plus participation in the discussion forum is required and attendance is mandatory. If you like professors who offer extra credit, this professor offers 3 extra credit points for writing a summary on a ted talk, attending a talk, and going to office hours one time. The topics are really interesting and prove to be introspective. I learned so much about myself. Also, shoutout to Luis, my TA. He was so kind and helpful.
