Most Helpful Review
Winter 2021 - I loved this course. Pat and my TA Ariana were both super helpful and understanding. You can tell how much the entire teaching team really cares about their students' well being and learning experience. I felt like they were focused on us actually learning something and gaining a positive experience than grades, essays, or tests. The course content was very enlightening, and I learned so much more than I expected about college accessibility and opportunity. If you didn't know, Pat is like THE goat in the field of college accessibility and she is droppin facts every lecture. The coursework was very straightforward. There was one 3 page essay on the required book, which was completed week 3. There was also a group project, in which we had to research any topic of our choosing that related to the course, and create a resource which could theoretically be used, by teacher, counselors, students, etc. The project was the least stressful group project i have ever done, as there were staggered deadlines and we were given at least an hour of in class time every week to work on it. For someone who has had a lot going on during the pandemic, with work , school, family, etc. to worry about, this class was a breath of fresh air. If you are reading this review and are unsure if you should take the course, this is a sign!!! Just take it and you will be glad you did.
