Professor Pieters was a great professor. At the beginning of the quarter, I didn't think I'd like the class much, but as time went on, I realized I was learning a lot about myself (my time management, stress factors, how I handle conflict, etc.). If you put effort into your essays, you should be fine. There are two essays (30%), participation (10%), portfolio (25%), and final paper (35%). I got an A+ in the class :)

Winter 2020 - The structure of this class is essentially the same for Intro to Nursing and Social Justice I; this class is the "second part." She still has nurse interviews where she invites nurses from different specialty areas and has them present. Usually for every class, Dr. Salem has you fill out an evaluation sheet for the lecturer of the week, answer 2-4 questions regarding the material discussed, and maybe an activity sheet (not difficult, can be done as the lecturer is presenting). You need the main textbook (the light blue and black one) for the class but you can use the online version of it on the UCLA Library database (that's what I did). She lists another textbook but there's just one study guide that has questions regarding that textbook and that's it, so if there's a way you can get the answers to those questions without having to waste the money buying the whole book, I'd recommend doing that. There are four assignments--two of them are self assignments/essays, the third one is a group project, and the fourth assignment is assembling an electronic portfolio. There are two quizzes for this class as well, but she provides the study guides every week so as long as you fill them out, you are good to go!
