Professor: Elizabeth Rodini
The best aspect of this course was the guest speakers because they provided new perspectives on culture and students enjoyed that. Many students were quite fond of the professor of this course. She was described as “passionate,” “engaging,” and “interesting.” Students also found themselves soaking up tons of information in a short period of time. Although many students liked the professor, they were not as thrilled about her harsh grading. In addition, the amount of reading required was disliked. It was suggested by students to narrow down readings make essay prompts and grading rubrics crystal clear. Prospective students should prepare for interesting subject matter but lengthy readings.
