Mixed

The course is generally seen as manageable with a mix of reflective memos and essays; however, the grading can be inconsistent, with some finding it easy to get an A while others struggle. It's good for students who prefer discussion-based learning over exams.

Grading varies—some find it generous, while others feel it is harsh, especially in group projects.

Workload

Moderate workload with regular assignments; no major quizzes or exams. Students spend around 2-3 hours per week on the course.

Assessments

Assessment includes reflective memos (4x200 words), initial and final essays (400 and 1200-1500 words respectively), group project, and participation in forums.

Teaching
