CollegeVery bad at canvas and never responds to emails. Not organized and takes so many points off for assignments being late but doesn't even post the assignments on time so you never know when they're due
Take this class! The prof is super caring and understanding. She wants everyone to succeed. Grade is based of weekly reading prep, biweekly reflections, and two small projects. It's all super manageable! 10/10
Currently taking this class. Lecture being 2 hours and section being 50 mins. We have weekly assignments about our readings, biweekly assignments about the two weeks prior, one project/presentation (recording yourself) about a film where the teacher is important like Matilda, and a teacher interview with an essay. No extra credit. Lectures are LONG
I liked the class. The topic of the final presentation (plastic pollution) was very relevant. Good preparation for becoming an educator. Karin is very likeable as well.
