  1. No Comment
  2. Professor Ward is amazing, this is one of the best classes I have ever taken. I did the reading because I wanted to. Very little work is necessary outside of class, except for right before exams. The exams were very fair, and the he gave out exam questions ahead of time. I learned a LOT, and I didn't feel like any of the assignments were useless- all helped me learn. Lectures were fascinating. Take this class!
  3. This class is super interesting and Ward is a great teacher, very approachable, very passionate, and willing to talk for pretty much as long as you want. Weekly case studies give you a chance to explore a topic of your choice. Also one longer paper to explore a topic more in-depth. I thought the exams were graded a little harshly, but if you work diligently on the other assignments it's not hard to get a good grade. I loved the human focus of the class, which made the topics so relevant and more relatable.
  4. Ward is a nice guy, extremely approachable and easy to converse with on just about anything. In class, however, his lectures range from organized and fascinating to confusing and difficult to follow. He covered some topics that he seemed to be unfamiliar with, which made some lectures jumbled. His grading is harsh, especially on essays, and he tend to whip out questions on quizzes that he NEVER covered in class--ones that absolutely no one would know the answers to unless they had taken Cell Hell. It's a worthwhile class, and maybe attending more of his office hours would be a good way to get a feel for what he's looking for. Overall very interesting material.
  5. ward is chill
  6. Not sure what the other person is talking about, but there's a good amount of weekly work that you have to hand in. [case studies, a presentation, 2 tests, 2 short papers] The course material was AWESOME. Makes you think about who you are as a person, specifically what race is and how it may be a superficial construct.
