Class Reflection

I have to say that when I first signed up for this class, I expected another boring, content filled history class but this has been anything but.  With the theme of the class being revolved around social deviancy and the medicalization of race and sexuality, it is always an interesting topic with different ethical issues.  I also enjoyed how the class is discussion based because I think that it is way easier to get involved and interested in the class readings when you talk about it with other classmates.  Also, there are numerous times that other students in the class brought up something about the readings that I completely missed or didn't understand and it helps a tremendous amount.  In addition, I think that it was fun to have a student lead discussion pretty much every class because it was interesting to see how they interpreted the readings and their opinions on the topics.  With that said, I have to say that my favorite class of the semester was the one with Meghan Tonjes because she was extremely talented and inspirational with her activist youtube channel.

  1. Thank you for your comments, Melissa. I will pass your kind words on to Meghan. I hope she can come back when I teach the course again.
