Spring 2020 - I took this class when classes were made online so there were a lot of changes made to the class. Professor Narro is very kind and puts the students' needs first. Since the pandemic was on everyone's mind, he would lead mediation and mindfulness workshops in class. I think he is very caring for that reason. As for the work load, we had assigned readings for the class which were uploaded on CCLE. Each week we had a discussion post but it was very short. Our only big assignments were two 4 page reflections. We were going to have a final paper but that was changed. We often had guest speakers. The class was originally supposed to be 3 hours but he would make the class an hour tops.
