  • When I took this course we would spend at least 20 minutes (of a 1 hr 20 min class) sitting in a circle and checking in on how everyone was feeling. This would make sense to me for some sort of therapeutic training, not an academic setting I'm paying lots of money to be a part of. I wanted to learn theories and practice them and all that, but feel this class really lacks in those components.
    A lot of participation marks so you can't skip the classes, which I found to be quite useless. One time there was a participation assignment where I had to list things I could see, smell, hear, etc.. to work on being mindful. Was this course easy? Yes, just show up and do the bare minimum work and you…
