I really loved this class. I liked the case studies and the deconstructing of them to help with current issues in current situations. The collaboration was great and I also liked that this touched on a variety of diversity. Excellent class. Highly recommend.

Good material but much more work than expected. I learned a lot and I'm glad it's done!

The case studies were informative as well as the perspectives of our classmates. The videos were stirring with varied introspectives and emotions.
