The topic was death in pop culture. The content was interesting, unique, and took from different country and religious perspectives. I was able to complete the majority of the course work assignments during reading week, made the second half of the term easier.

very section dependant and your prof makes all the difference. i took cross cultural care traditions and the prof was honestly amazing and he really taught me a new perspective that i would've otherwise completely ignored for the rest of my life. 3 essays + in class participation made up your grade. this is genuinely one of my favourite classes in all of my undergrad
