Good GE, with pretty short weekly reflection assignments, and a final project. I took it when they were doing online lectures, but I believe they're moving to in-person now. My TA Subeen was super chill and nice. Discussions were pretty relaxed, with individual or group assignments each week. I wasn't a huge fan of Professor Barry - she seemed super full of herself/vibe was off with her. Honestly didn't learn much at all, but it was a chill GE!

Dr. Barry was super understanding, created a welcoming environment for students, and overall fostered a fun classroom to learn about the diverse educational issues at hand. Assignments were very simple and encouraged us to reflect on our understanding of the readings + our personal experiences. Would recommend her course!

YES YES YES, please take this class. If you are looking for a GE requirement, this class is for you. Professor Barry was an amazing professor who listened to her students and made sure the class was not too much work or too difficult for her students. There were no tests and the final was basically a 2 page blog about a topic we discussed during class. The assignments were 2 paragraph assignments, one for the weekly readings (which were very short), one during class, and one during discussion section. Overall, outside of class, I spent about 1 hour a week on the class. It is super light and super interesting as well. I learned a lot through the discussion based nature of the class, and overall the entire teaching staff is super friendly. Oh, did I forget to mention that all the grades are based on completion (but you have to make your writing associated with the topic at hand). Yea, overall this class is awesome and anyone looking to fill up a GE, this class is for you.
