Spring 2024 - I took this class as a GE after taking EDUC 10, also as a GE. This class was so chill. Participation wasn't tracked in lectures, only discussion. I honestly BS'ed my way through this class with extremely low effort until the day before the final, which was 4 mini-essays but open-note (printed/handwritten). The final was also online (with webcam Respondus proctoring) due to the protests/TA strike. I do think it was totally doable after spending just a few hours the night before compiling 5-10 pages of printed notes. Throughout the quarter, there's 3 case studies (~5 page essay that you work on in groups based on an education study). It's more chill than it sounds, since everyone contributes. You choose one of the case studies at the end to present/make a quick video on before the final. Other than that, just a weekly reflection (few sentences to a paragraph) that's basically completion-based. There was no midterm. Not sure if it will be different as we had the Palestine protests/TA strike, and 3/4 TA's in this class went on strike. Overall, super chill class + would recommend as a GE! The professor was also really nice, as well as my TA, Claudia.
