Class is based on multiple assignments around 500 words in length and participation. Some of the assignments have harder than expected prompts for this type of class but they're doable and the professor is pretty great.

Prof Ninh is one of the best professors I have had at UCSB. She truly cares about her students, is knowledgable and helpful, and just a joy to be around. Every week, I left class feeling empowered, like a learned something new about myself and others. She gives personalized and helpful feedback on assignments, so that you can actually improve!

This class wasn't what I expected. She is a difficult grader. I enjoyed the subject, but I wouldn't want to take another class with her because of her grading.

Weekly discussion posts and journal entry assignments. A lot of assigned reading but I got by just by attending class. Two lectures with alternative healing methods which is what another post on here mentioned with the maracas lol. Out of my comfort zone, but an enjoyable experience if you have an open mind. No exams, just a final project

This is not a class, it is a therapy circle. From shaking a maraca for 2 hours to being reprimanded for stating opinions and trying my hardest, this class made me ask myself the question: What am I playing this high of a tuition for?

Little guidance was given on assignments, and lectures were unnecessarily overcomplicated and confusing. Prof Nihn is passionate and kind, and I'd highly recommend going to her office hours. However, I often felt like she lacked the ability to explain things in a straightforward way, especially in class. Overall would not recommend for a GE.
