This was a very easy class and nonetheless, very insightful. The midterm is an in class paper that is more opinionated. The final is just reflecting the volunteer work required in the class. Though, in my experience in this class, it truly revealed the challenges certain groups in LA face and how organizations do their best to alleviate such issues. Overall, I recommend this class!

This class is a really easy GE and as long as you do all the participation and put in a bit of effort, you'll get an A.

You have do weekly volunteering 2-4 hours a week. The volunteering sites are usually fun. Just make sure to pick places that do not have far commutes.

You have to do a weekly writing assignment about society and your volunteering site. The writing assignment is usually 1-2 pages double-spaced. The assignment is usually a reflection so just write about whatever happened and answer the prompt.

There are no exams, but you do have to submit a midterm paper and a final paper. It really depends on your TA. If your TA seems strict week 1 of discussion, then switch to another TA's discussion. I was fortunate to have a very nice TA who was a very lenient grader.
