The best aspect of this course was the class discussions. Students raved about how amazing they were. The professor allowed the discussion to go in any direction students took it in, resulting in tremendous participation and interaction. But, the amount of reading turned students off. Also, students wished that the professor would have led discussion more because it almost always went off on tangents. Suggestions for improvement include: more variety in class requirements such as projects, interactive media, etc., and a decrease of readings. The environment of the class was very open, so prospective students shouldn’t worry about being politically correct.

The best aspect of the course was the open, honest discussion fostered by the professor about real world events and issues. Many students agreed that readings were too long and the class was not set-up in a way to encourage group discussion. Suggested improvements included having the opportunity to get more feedback on completed assignments and having a more control ed class discussion. Prospective students do not need to have previous knowledge about subject matter and are encouraged to be open minded and prepared to share ideas.
