Very easy and stress-free class. Lectures were interesting and covered valuable material. No exams just a couple essays and smaller writing assignments. Lots of discussion in class. Attendance was taken but make-up assignments were offered for extreme cases. Overall engaging and interesting class. Would recommend!

Professor Berman was very knowledgeable about the course and the history of education. You can tell he really values his students and wants to create connections with them. He assigns weekly readings that can be long but are helpful to the course. Two big papers are a majority of the grade. Great professor, I would take a class again in an instant.
