EDUC 11
Education, Equality, and Future of American Society: Problems, Prospects, and Policies
Description: Lecture, four hours; discussion, one hour. Schools are primary institutions charged with responsibility of preparing young people for their roles as citizens so that they can participate in our democracy. Public schools also serve as key sites where two essential, and at times conflicting, functions are carried out: students are sorted based on measures (and perceptions) of their ability to fill occupations and roles that are essential to economy; and students are educated in hopes that next generation will acquire knowledge, creativity, and problem-solving skills to solve problems created by previous generations. Focus on understanding challenges, contradictions, and complexities associated with carrying out these functions. Letter grading.

Fall 2024 - Loved this class. Professor Santibanez is definitely the best professor I’ve ever had. Workload for this class is extremely low. Grade is based on attendance, exit ticket (there is 9 but only 6 ticket count), three case study with your group during discussion session, and it’s super easy and fun, and a in person final exam (4 mini essay question, questions are very easy and she is not too strict on grading it). Definitely recommend this class for all the education majors, or just need to satisfy GE requirement.
