    • Seminar in Civic Engagement and Deliberative Democracy . RG ST 188A

    This three-quarter-long course is part of the Civic Engagement Scholars Program. In the Fall, students study theoretical framework and historical background of civic engagement in the American university. Students engage in leadership development and learn practices that leaders use to transform values into actions, visions into realities, obstacles into innovations, and risks into rewards. Students develop and practice skills for deliberative discourse, including how to have civil conversations on controversial topics. Students design workshops on a topic of their interest incorporating these issues and skills. In the Winter and Spring, they deliver these workshops to student organizations and the community.

    Class was super chill. One major term project, roughly 5 smaller essays, a final essay, and a group paper. Overall would recommend, staff was great.

    I don't understand how this even counts as a class... All you do is a couple of essays on insanely easy prompts and a group project...I think they give everyone 100 no matter what... my group and I did our entire project in 2 hours the week it was due... A+ in the class... recommend it for the gpa boost lol

    Professor Armistead was one of my favorite professors at UCSB so far. She is super sweet and helpful because she genuinely cares about her students! I loved this class and found it very interesting. I learned so much about my leadership. It was not that much work at all and the work we did have was fun! I would highly recommend taking this course!

    I didn't interact with this teacher once during the entire quarter, because there were no asynchronous lectures (just required readings for every week); your TA is pretty much the only person you get feedback from. For the most part this class is an easy A. You do a weekly discussion post with 3 responses (easy) and only a few short papers.
