Sometimes I wish the recitation was more discussion based so we could continue evolving our thinking about the reading and course material.

I think it would be better to utilize recitations to learn more about the material. Sometimes I feel like it doesn't help with my understanding of anything, and the time would be better spent another way.

I wouldn't separate the 3 themes of the course so strictly. trying to structure the course as if they all don't interact in a very complex way isn't extremely productive in my opinion.

I would rather recitation time be spent on receiving more instruction about readings. I find that a lot of times I leave recitation with the same understanding of material as what I came in with.

I feel like our discussions of the readings in class and recitation are really surface level -- we just summarize what the readings said rather than actually grappling with them in a meaningful way. I understand that it is hard to get through multiple readings in one class, but I wish we made more time for deeper discussions

I second/third this

I would be curious to see if there were ways we could engage in civic action on campus--so the group papers but with an application portion

I think many of the readings for this course could have been done without, especially the white men theory-based readings that didn't feel in touch with the realities of today.

I think a more diverse set of authors should be utilized in the coursework. It is great that we have had some, but the majority have been old white men. Newer readings could be introduced that cover similar topics but in a more intersectional way.

More diverse authors for the readings

If I were in charge of this course, I would make sure that it was taught by people who are actively engaged and have been engaged in social movements and civic action. The academic white male background of the professors stifles the potential for this class to be more impactful. Furthermore, it is also reflected in many of the readings we are doing that feel out of touch with the realities of 2021.

This course has taught me to have a larger perspective and to look for others opinions whether that be at school when someone offers criticism on something I do or just in my daily life. I won't always be correct and it is good to listen to others.

I wish we spent more time in recitation diving deep into the readings. There have been times in other classes where I find out during recitation that my understanding of something was only surface level, so sometimes I wonder what I am missing in the readings from this class.

# data[].attributes.body
I would be interested in putting concepts like the ones we learned today (contact theory) in conversation with overarching issues like systems and institutions that are at play in human interaction

# data[].attributes.body
I would include more in class peer discussion about the reading material, like we did with Allen and McRae. I found that very helpful and effective in my understanding of the material.
