Comments on the course

This is the most woke, nonsensical material I've ever experienced. It's very easy, if you can handle the head-scratching material and the strong opinionated tone, but it's designed to make you think in a very specific way. The assignments don't offer many options, so your stuck working on a topic you may not be interested in or agree with. The low workload is appealing to students who just want an easy credit but I'm serious, it's not worth the headache of digesting the material, there are better bird courses

Course Content

Critical race/gender theory, feminism, life/death, human behaviour. But taught in a terrible way that doesn't encourage critical thinking, just straight stuffing a very strong opinion down your throat. They call it science but as a science major taking this course for an elective, I would not call this science. There are no experiments or measurements, simply observations and very poor analysis

Comments on the professor

Could barely get through a lecture without wanting to scream, but more the fault of the content than the prof. Average teaching style and presentation, no serious complaints

Advice

I wish I had known about the lack of discourse. It's impossible to critique critical race/gender theory in this class, despite it's many flaws. It's one thing to teach ideas but another entirely to promote them without discussing others

Comments on the course

Content is easy and straightforward. Dr Leigh puts emphasis on bigger concepts and dates. Tests were fair. Some trick questions where the best possible answer is the correct answer even though 2 of the answer choices are technically correct. Essays were a bit hard but not too bad

Comments on the professor

A great help and cares about her students. Makes the lectures easy to follow.

Advice

Do the reading and take notes because they pop up on the tests. Is a bird course if you put in the effort.
