In short, TAKE IT!
Megan is the best. She's caring (you can see how close I feel to her when I'm using her first name to refer to her, and she preferred that), understanding, and not a believer in grades, so if you can come to all sessions and finish the homework (which is not heavy), you'll get an easy and guaranteed A (She doesn't offer A+ though, but that does not hurt your GPA anyways).
As a GE, this course is easy and light; as a major/minor requirement, this course is interesting in content and engaging in format, which ultimately drew me to the Education and Social Transformation major.
Course and Homework Compositions:
- One 2hr lecture and one 2hr discussion per week (They are VERY intriguing! I had 8 AM discussions with her and never missed a single one of them. I even felt sorry when she had to cancel some of them for holidays.)
- Two weekly reflections graded based on completion (1 double-spaced page each)
- Some readings (provided on bruinlearn so you don't have to pay extra bucks, can be a little bit intense sometimes, but skim reading will be enough)
- One blog (1.5 to 3 single-spaced pages) for the end of the quarter assignment, also graded based on completion
And that's it! No midterms, no finals, no long AF essays and other kinds of BS.
So yeah, TAKE IT if it's offered. You will not regret it.

This class was great! I took it for my minor, but I know a lot of people who took it as a GE. The content is really interesting, and Frank is an engaging lecturer. The work is primarily in-class though. The only homework is writing a reflection on your thoughts on the week's readings (which are manageable) and then revising it by adding a paragraph. Everything else is done during lecture, which normally consists of quickwrites, group conversations, and discussions. It is very interactive, meaning you do typically have to attend both lecture and discussion. But I'd say it's worth it given how little work it requires outside of class. Franke is very kind and clearly wants her students to succeed. There is no textbook, she provides all of the readings. There is no midterm or final, just a blog on one of the topics due at the end of the quarter. Would definitely reccommend.
