Fall 2018 - Overall, the content of the class is interesting but the lectures aren't engaging most of the time. Reading the textbook clarifies topics in class that maybe weren't so clear. Tests are doable but require you to memorize small details that aren't important to understanding the important themes of the class content. Take this class if you want to start thinking more about what it means to age and briefly understand ethical/social/political concerning aging. Or if you just want an easy class to fulfill a requirement. The courses that follow this upper div go more in depth, this class is just a quick run down on topics of aging.
