Apart from that, the class is super insightful, and has real -world applications.  Discussion is kind of useless, and written assignments are easy but time-consuming.",

    "comment": "This class makes you think critically of how race plays of role in your life. It's a great class to understand the concept of race and how it came to be. Reading the textbook helps a lot because she doesn't post up lecture slides and has lots of information per slide. Homework assignments are doable but citing sources is crucial.",
