Spring 2018 - I adore this class because it was so unique in the sense that I learned something new every lecture that occurred on Tuesday's and Thursday's. I was in the body and performance global studies section for this course, and I'm glad I took it not knowing what to expect. There were a lot of surprises in this class, so it kept me on my toes. I learned a lot about performance art and how much it means to society. I learned about how bodies interact over time with other bodies including death, gender, limits, habits, and other random but useful information. This class is a writing class so there are two essays to complete throughout the quarter. One of them is a performance analysis and the other is a film analysis, so be sure to do those as well as you can because they do count for most of your grade. The rest of your grade comes from attendance, 5 pop quizzes on some of the readings given every class, participation and a group project that occurs at the end of the quarter. The professor really cares about improvement and thoroughly wants you to do well. She knows what she's talking about, so listen. There is an extra credit opportunity to watch her give a K-POP lecture in Royce Hall, so do that because it was 2% of the final grade. Overall, I really enjoyed this class and appreciated that it was in a small group setting.

Summer 2024 - I really liked this class a lot and it is such a super easy GE to take during the summer. Each week there would be 2 Persuall lectures where you have to leave two comments, each at least 50 words, somewhere throughout the lecture, inputing your incite. You will receive 2pts for each lecture as long as you do just that. There were discussion posts each week, requiring citations from at least two of the readings or lecture videos posted for the week. This was really easy and I would just skim through most the readings to grab the general idea. Lastly, there were two "Mini-terms" one during Week 4 and another one during Week 6. The only thing I would critique is the lack of clarity on what they wanted for the Mini Terms, I was just a little confused on what exactly they were looking for, but I still received an A on both. I'm sure if you go to office hours this would be clarified but I never bothered to go lol. Overall, I liked this class a lot and I found it really inciteful and interesting.
