Took this course online with Heather Smyth asynchronously. Course material was very interesting and relevant in today's day in age. There wasn't a sole focus on any particular topic but we looked at the BLM, POC, and other oppressed groups. Got me thinking about race differently. 3 reflection assignments (20% total), 4 small assignments (40% total), project interview (just a discussion with the prof), and a major project (30%). The major project was a creative project in which you simply reflected on course material and you could take in whatever direction you wanted (I did a podcast). Also, Heather Smyth was just so nice and lovely.
