Fall 2024 - If you like seminars and find the topic interesting DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS, SHE WILL RUIN IT FOR YOU. To call this a seminar is a joke, this professor has ZERO tolerance to students connecting their own perspectives with the material and asking questions that go against her interpretation of these dust old papers. She doesn’t ask questions to make you think engagingly about the topic. Instead of discussions, she conducts verbal quizzes like the AR tests in elementary school. Checking if you remember what author said on page 3 on topic ___. She’s just talking about her personal reading list in this class and isn’t approaching it from the pov of a student trying to take a bloody SEMINAR on the topic. Always gushing about her own interpretations and being completely uninterested in the pov of other students on such broadly experienced subjects such as “money and emotion.” I also hate how restrictive it was to American western practices when it clearly wasn’t a region specific classic. Money, emotion, and gifting clearly mean hastily different things across cultures and none of that was even acknowledged,
