Spring 2020 - Took this class in Spring 2020 so it was online :(. Nonetheless the class was super duper engaging and fun, it was the only class that I got to meet new people through Zoom since you interact with your classmates a lot! I had a wonderful TA, Amy, and my discussion session bonded very well!

Spring 2024 - This class is 3 hrs long (mandatory attendance) but it honestly went by so quick! Every lecture begins with guest speakers talking about their different art-based organizations and we conclude with a panel. We're then given a 10-minute break and continue on with different exercises and activities. That's basically the breakdown of class. Work-wise, it's not very heavy but you are expected to do weekly discussion posts on readings and creative praxis (which is started in class). There's also a small group video that is very simple! The midterm and final are relatively easy IMO. It's a case study paper on an LA arts-based organization (the midterm is 6 pages, and it basically gets you started for your final paper). The final paper is an expansion of the midterm (10 pages), you are expected to interview the organization (not as bad as you'd think) and delve deeper into the organization and their work while also including class materials. I highly recommend this course! Persaud and the TA's made this class very engaging, I really enjoyed my time in this class!
