I took this class online because of COVID-19. Professor Scorza was engaging in lectures. We practiced meditation during every session. However, it is not an 'easy A.' You must put in a lot of work for the assignments. There were 4 weekly logs, 4 quizzes, a presentation, a midterm paper (5-8 pages), and a final paper (10-15 pages). A LOT OF WORK. Plus participation in the discussion forum is required and attendance is mandatory. If you like professors who offer extra credit, this professor offers 3 extra credit points for writing a summary on a ted talk, attending a talk, and going to office hours one time. The topics are really interesting and prove to be introspective. I learned so much about myself. Also, shoutout to Luis, my TA. He was so kind and helpful.

This class was really enjoyable and I learned a lot of skills that I think will help me for a long time to come. I'd highly recommend this for a GE! Had a very reasonable workload (4 quizzes, 1 presentation, 2 papers). Lectures were funny and entertaining.

Honestly really great, applicable class. All of the lectures are really interesting and engaging. Because of covid, we don't have to buy the course reader, but when you go back in person it is def needed. If you do all of the course readings for the class before they vary from 3-6 readings. It isn't necessary to read all of them before the class but it helps with breakout rooms or with your projects. The class was a lot of busy work needless to say, but it was graded very fairly.
The breakdown of the class is:
-Participation 20%
- x4 Experience logs 20%
-Learning assignment 1 (presentation) 15%
-Learning assignment 2 (paper) 15%
-Quiz 15%
-Final paper 15%

I wish I could take every class with Dr. Scorza!! He's so understanding, funny, and engaging! There was a short, easy 5 min presentation you give to a small group, 2 papers (i think one was about 5 pages and the final was about 10-12), and 1 quiz. I am also terrible when it comes to writing but I got A's on both. You learn so much about yourself and others and how to handle stress, relationships, and your identity. This was during COVID/Zoom so your camera had to be on a participation mattered. Such a fun and chill class I HIGHLY recommend!

It’s a good class if you’re looking for upper div credits. Professor expects a lot of participation ranging from weekly discussion boards to speaking in class. Work is easy but time consuming. I didn’t read more than 1 article of reading assignments for this class so you can get away without doing the reading as long as you listen to the lectures. Class is very personal and will ask you to share private details of your life when doing your assignments, presentation, and final 10 page reflection essay (easier than it sounds). The one quiz we had was tough since the professor wouldn’t give us a study guide so I recommend reviewing material regularly in the course. Take this class if you don’t mind busy work and need the credits.

Great class! Took this my first quarter and it was really helpful and a great way to reflect on my quarter.
