Thorn: My personal life has been very chaotic and it's been impacting my study time. I need to manage my time better despite this.

Rosebud: I really enjoy this course. The lecture videos are really helpful and easy to follow along with

# data[].attributes.body
Rosebud: I have thouroughly enjoyed every topic for this semester. Reading all of the material and watching the videos has given me so much material I know I will be able to take with me to m career. I have had a smooth time navigating how to do things.

Thorn: My mental health often gets in the way of myself. I've never taken an online college class besides Sociology 1A and I can honestly say it is much harder than in person. I struggle with balance.

# data[].attributes.body
Rosebud: This class has been easy to navigate and I'm learning a handful of material that I can connect to my day to day life. I'm glad the lectures for this class are assignments that we have to watch til the end to get credit for because it allows me to be more engaged and actually intake the information from the lectures.

Thorn: My own time management has been making it difficult for me to complete all my assignments. It's a problem I have created for myself so I'm trying to improve.

# data[].attributes.body
Rosebud: I thought I had pretty strong knowledge on most topics we have covered so far, and I still think I do, BUT I am still learning so much more and learning more than just "surface details" on a variety of topics, its been a weird combination of fun to learn but at times... sad to learn it!

Thorn: Its me, I'm the problem. I am horrible at balancing this new workload into my life and it is something I am trying hard to improve on.

# data[].attributes.body
Something that is going well is the multiple choices and chances to take the quiz because that allows me to focus on learning and not just performing well grade-wise. I love this course and learning so much every module. Something that could improve is the amount of words on the powerpoints in the lecture as I would like more text to take notes.

# data[].attributes.body
Rosebud: I am learning about topics I didn't think about deeply enough in the past. Lessons are well organized and put together for easy completion.

Thorn: Despite how step oriented the lessons are, there is still quite a lot of assignments bunched up together which can be overwhelming. Though, I am aware this is a summer course which is at an accelerated pace and of course, my own time management has been lacking since the beginning.

# data[].attributes.body
Rosebud: I enjoy the videos in this class. I like that it gives a deeper explanation of the material covered in the book. I also enjoy the simplicity in the structure of the assignments. I liked learning about the difference between prejudism and discrimination.

Thorn: I know it's probably necessary but I would rather skip the lessons on sexuality, gender identity, and sexual orientation. Most of what was taught goes against my religion, it brought up things from my past, and I disagree with it statistically so I did not enjoy learning about that.

# data[].attributes.body
The chapters have been interesting to learn from but I find myself to get easily distracted during the videos. I also need to work on my time management

# data[].attributes.body
Rosebud: I like how this class explains sociology topics through videos, readings, and discussions. It helps me understand different perspectives and connect topics to real life .

Thorn: Since it is an online class, I think more student interaction or discussions could make the class feel more connected .

# data[].attributes.body
Rosebud: I'm learning a lot of new things and it has always been interesting.

Thorn: There is a lot of work and it can be hard to finish before the due date.

Rosebud: I like how engaging this class is and how much I’m learning about topics I didn’t think of.

Thorn: there is a heavy work load and Ive been doing it last minute which is my fault .

Rosebud

I feel that this class is super easy to follow and it helps me learn more than a typical online class.

Thorn

I get easily distracted while watching the videos and find myself needed to rewind often.

# data[].attributes.body
Rosebud: I’m understanding the material better when I take my time and use the examples, and discussions help me connect the topics to real life. Thorn: I need to improve my time management because I sometimes get overwhelmed when assignments from different classes pile up.

# data[].attributes.body
my rosebud: This class has taught me a lot about many different aspects of life, and a very different but deep way of thinking about how the world works.

My thorn: sometimes the amount of work can be overwhelming.

Rose bud | my rosebud is that this class teaches me more about the social problems that we had that I would’ve never thought about realizing how deep they are.

Thorn | My thorn is that I don’t have enough time to manage my classes. and I also feel like I tried to balance it out, but I don’t always successfully do so.

# data[].attributes.headline
Rosebud: This class is probably one the best and most engaging classes I have taken. I have learned a lot about topics I would have not thought of before taking this class and would say it is very interesting and viewing stuff through a new lens.

My thorn is keeping up with assignments and managing my time. Sometimes it can be difficult to balance school with other responsibilities, but I am working on staying more organized and completing assignments earlier.

# data[].attributes.body
Rosebud: One thing that's been going well is that I've learned a lot about topics I never really thought about before, especially how different social and psychological factors can affect people's lives. The class has definitely made me look at some things from a different perspective.

Thorn: One thing that could improve is having a few more study guides or review materials before quizzes and exams. Sometimes there's a lot of information to remember, so having a little more guidance on what to focus on would be really helpful.

# data[].attributes.headline
Rosebud: This class is relevant to my current employment. This class has opened my eyes to worldly point of views. Also, I enjoy the knowledge regarding society and the statistics. I was crying when we spoke about ageism, it made me think of my grandparents. The course is presented well by the professor and I enjoyed the module aspect it helped my organized brain. Thorn: I think the videos could be longer and more information.

Rosebud—One thing that's going well is that this class has helped me understand social problems in a different way. I pay more attention to what's happening in society and think more about why these problems exist.

Thorn: Sometimes I have a hard time staying focused during some of the videos, especially if I'm already tired or distracted. I usually have to go back and rewatch some parts so I don't miss anything

Where there is a rosebud, there is a thorn.

# data[].attributes.body
My rosebud would be that not only am I learning so much and having great discussions with you all, I am doing great at completing all the assignments, even with a jam packed summer (yet here I am replying to this on the date it is due).

My thorn would be that even though all assignments are turned in, with school and work sometimes I find myself turning in assignments on the date that they are due. I should complete some midway through the week.

# data[].attributes.body
Rosebud:

I am learning new things in this class. The lessons and discussions help me understand the topics better.

Thorn:

Sometimes there is a lot of homework, so it can be hard to finish everything on time.

# data[].attributes.body
Rosebud : One thing that has gone well is learning about different social problems and understanding how they affect people and communities. The class has helped me think more critically about issues that I did not know much about before.

Thorn : One thing that could improve is I could have managed my time better throughout the semester instead of waiting until the last minute on some assignments.

# data[].attributes.body
Sociology is a fairly interesting subject to me, so I don't have any complaints or suggestions for how the topics are taught. Canvas is still quite annoying at times with the sudden downtime, unexpected issues, and so on. The free textbook is nice, however.

# data[].attributes.body
Rosebud: I have really enjoyed this course and the subjects we discuss. My personal life is pretty heavy, and it's nice to get a small glimpse of the "why." I have also liked the discussion boards we post, it's nice to be able to read and interact with each other. And see how others (you all) think.

Thorn: My procrastination is still there with school. I need to learn how to space my school work out throughout the week. But work has been draining, and I did get hurt this week so I took a few mental and health days off. But we're still striving!

# data[].attributes.body
Rosebud: I really enjoy the topics that we have been learning about. I also feel as if the amount of time we're given to work on our assignments is reasonable. Even though it seems like a lot of work, I don't think its overly difficult as long as I stay on top of it.

Thorn: However, I have been procrastinating a lot. I really need to learn how to manage my time and my work better. Trying to find that balance between being a mom and a student is hard so this week I'm going to prioritize more on my classes.

# data[].attributes.headline
Rosebud: I really enjoy how this class is structured, the material is relevant and it’s presented in an easy to grasp form.

Thorn: I really need to work on getting my homework done sooner

# data[].attributes.body
Rosebud: I love the videos in this class it allows me too visually observe everything I am more of a visual learner, so this works really well for me. The only Thorn was this week canvas was down for about two days, and I didn't see if the assignment was pushed back more days because of it. So, I am trying to get it all done before the day is over.

# data[].attributes.body
Rosebud: I like that the class is organized and the assignments are easy to understand.

Thorn: I usually try to take a day off during the week because there are a lot of assignments to get through, but it doesn't always work out. I end up having to finish things at the last minute, especially when I have work from other classes due at the same time.

# data[].attributes.body
Rosebud: I like the reading, at least the information it gives. It's fascinating for me to learn about things like this that I don't know, or rather just things that I didn't know much about.

Thorn: Canvas. I tried logging in Tuesday, or Wednesday, maybe even both days, but it bugged out and didn't let me in.

# data[].attributes.body
Rosebud: The information about ageism, its effects, and the implications of this form of discrimination in our workplaces and communities. Ageism has enabled me to realize the stereotypes and prejudices that are formed by people against those of certain ages in the community. As far as I work in Human Resources, this information has enabled me to understand the issues of equality and fairness in hiring, communication and policy making in the workplace.

Thorn: The issueI'm having is combining my studies, work, and social life. Work has become more challenging lately because we are severely understaffed, and we are having a hectic period at work. It becomes quite difficult to keep up with my assignments when I have a lot of things to do. Nevertheless, I am going to overcome these challenges and stay on track with my long-term plans.

# data[].attributes.body
Rosebud: one thing that's going well in this class would be pretty easy to grasp the information and very organized.

Thorn: one thing that could improve is listing more examples of real-world occurrences or research. As well as trying to keep up with all classes.

# data[].attributes.body
Rosebud: This class is very straightforward and there isn't any confusion. All of the assignments are well structured and there are clear guidelines to how to reach out if help is needed.

Thorn: I need to set more time to complete my assignments. I do get busy and tend to push things to the last minute which is not helping me and I could improve this bad habit.

# data[].attributes.body
Rosebud: I really enjoy the structure this class provides. The class course is very easy to navigate. I also really enjoy learning all the topics discussed as it allows me to go back and associate topics learned to everyday experiences. And it helps me understand different circumstances certain groups of people face daily.

Thorn: I could improve my procrastination in this course a little bit. I'm currently having a hard time balancing a full-time job, daily life tasks, and 4 courses over summer. All while having to prepare for nursing school next semester. And trying to enjoy my last break before being locked into a two-year program.

# data[].attributes.body
Rosebud: I like the content of this course and how things are easily accessible!

Thorn: I wish there were more readings included in the modules like there are videos

# data[].attributes.body
Rosebud:

I enjoy learning the concepts and diving into issues or learning new facts about society.

Thorn:

Canvas genuinely has never worked worse. On the worst week to shut down in the Summer too.

# data[].attributes.body
Rosebud:
As the semester has progressed, I’ve gained a better understanding of the course concepts. The class discussions and assignments have helped me apply what I’ve learned to real life situations, making the material more meaningful and easier to understand.

Thorn:
At times, the workload can feel overwhelming when several assignments are due around the same time. I’ve been able to keep up, but spacing out deadlines or providing additional reminders would make it easier to stay organized and manage everything effectively.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like I’m understanding the course concepts more clearly as the semester goes on. The discussions and assignments have helped me connect the material to real-life situations, which makes the class feel meaningful and easier to engage with.

Thorn:

Sometimes the workload feels a bit heavy when multiple assignments fall close together. I’m managing it, but spreading things out or having more reminders might make it easier to stay on track.

# data[].attributes.body
Rosebud: I really like how this class has no confusion at all. I feel like I can really understand everything without having to overthink and I can study with all the lectures and assignments and sources.

# data[].attributes.body
Rosebud: One thing that I am enjoying is how this class its pretty much going into every subject espiallcy the LGBTQ which I can relate on so many things when it comes to that. They helped me reflect on things that I never really thought about.

Thorn: I need to improve on myself every single time I submit an assignment, I do not look back and read it for a second time which can create grammar mistakes and cause me to loose points other than that there is nothing.

# data[].attributes.body
Something I like about this class is how straightforward all the assignments are, compared to my other classes the workload is so high and confusing. There isn't anything in class that I feel needs to be improved on aside from myself which is balancing my other classes work with this class.

# data[].attributes.headline
Rosebud: I do like learning about all of these topics that truly impact us as a society. It is interesting to see all of our different viewpoints.

# data[].attributes.body
Rosebud: I really like the discussion and layout since it is easier to find assignments that are due, but also, I like the discussion because there are so many different opinions based on the things we learned.

Thorn: I feel like I need to keep up with some of the assignments which it's on my part since I'm trying to balance it with the rest of my class assignments.

# data[].attributes.body
Rosebud: I really appreciate how this class is set up. The layout has made it super easy to follow which is important when it comes to stress levels and the pace of this semester.

Thorn: I think I could be better at responding to my classmates' posts. I tend to dread it the most which makes me feel bad because we put a lot of work into our writing and it deserves to be read.

# data[].attributes.body
I genuinely love the discussion posts because they're really thought-provoking. I also love the videos that go with it, without it, I'd feel kind of lost and confused. Both the video and discussion post stimulate and pique my interest in sociology and the environmental makeup of our society, which is really cool.

Thorn:

I don't really have anything on my mind really. I think I handle the assignments comfortably, but undoubtedly there are a lot of assignments, and I can see myself falling behind easily if I don't lock in and sufficiently manage my time. But this issue isn't really the professor's fault whatsoever. I do understand it's a condensed summer class!

# data[].attributes.body
Rosebud: I enjoy learning about sociology and how it helps explain the issues people face in society. The discussions and assignments have helped me see different perspectives and better understand topics we experience in everyday life.

Thorn: Sometimes it can be difficult to keep up with the assignments while balancing other responsibilities. Spreading out the workload or having reminders throughout the week would help me stay on track.

# data[].attributes.body
Rosebud: I really like the topics we are discussing, learning about how different communities handle social issues.

Thorn: It can be hard to manage my time with the longer assignments because they take longer than expected, and sometimes I fall behind.

# data[].attributes.body
Rosebud: I honestly feel like this course is manageable despite of loaded tasks a week. I'm learning so many new things about sociology and it doesn't feel overwhelming, I guess it was due to the way professor presented them. I really appreciate when a professor is well organized and knows how she or he communicate with students and thinking ahead on how their materials can be understand. Because I feel less stress in dealing with my homework when everything is well explained and laid out in front of me to work on.

Thorn: This is just a nitpick, but I wonder why are the assignment dues are always on a Saturday midnight and not Sunday? Again, it's just a nitpick, I have no real issues on this because I procrastinate. I guess I was just used to typical due dates on a Sunday.

# data[].attributes.body
Rosebud: I am really enjoying everything we are learning in this class. Normally, I am not very involved in our society issues that are currently active. This class has opened my eyes up to so much so far and I am always so excited to see what we are learning next.

Thorn: I feel like I need to get better at checking in earlier in the week so I am not cramming everything in all at once. I get easily overwhelmed and I am trying to spread all of my work out so that I can manage the work load better.

# data[].attributes.body
Rosebud: I have found the class to be very easy to understand, with great thanks to the shared lessons, manageable assignments, and easily accessible textbooks. This year, I have also made sure to organize my classes and assignments, and this class being very organized on its own is very helpful. I have thankfully so far been staying on top of the class and understanding the material well.

Thorn: Assignments have not been hard to complete, but time can sometimes be scarce, especially with the semester being so short. Although I have been staying on top of my assignments, I know it would definitely benefit me to stay ahead to be safe and to allow me to revise the material.

# data[].attributes.body
Rosebud:  I really enjoyed the course material and find the topics very interesting and easy to understand and follow. The chapters are very organized, which makes managing the work much easier.

Thorn:  Because this is a short summer course, the pace feels very fast for me. It can sometimes be tough to balance the workload and find enough time to really reflect on the chapter and the discussion topics.

# data[].attributes.body
Rosebud: The overall structure of the class is highly organized. The modules are laid out clearly from day one, so it’s always easy to see exactly what assignments are due and when.

Thorn: It would be helpful to have a quick, optional study guide or a list of key terms provided before the quizzes to make sure we're focusing on the right details.

# data[].attributes.body
Rosebud: one thing going well is me learning different issues in society as well as some of the way to work to solving them. This class helped me effectively think about topic from different perspectives

Thorn: my thorn is spending more time actually reflecting of the reading discussions. I have been more caught up on completing the assignments rather than engaging with the important material to use in real life situations.

# data[].attributes.body
Rosebud:

I have really enjoyed the course material and have learned a lot more in depth about topics I already knew about. The material is easy to follow and comprehend. All of the topics we have covered are very interesting and relevant. I have been able to examine society and my life better since enrolling in this course.

Thorn:

This course is short and very fast paced. I work and have another summer course which makes it difficult to manage my time. I wish I could dive deeper into some topics, but the courses speed makes it difficult to do so. Once you finish one topic, you quickly move onto the next without enough time to process the previous one. I like to learn without feeling pressure or being rushed.

# data[].attributes.body
Rosebud: The class and topic is really interesting to learn about. The videos for each chapter make it easier to understand the topic more than just reading and taking notes about it. The weekly work is not bad since it is a lot of work but it's not time consuming.

Thorn: I believe what I need to improve is my time management. I know the work is a lot but its not much at the same time. I need to know what assignments to do on certain days to make sure there all done for the week instead of finishing it all in the last day.

# data[].attributes.body
Rosebud: The structure of this class is pleasing and the materials are very understanding and the modules are laid out well.

Thorn: The pace that everything is going at and trying to keep up with both of my classes and work and many other things

# data[].attributes.body
Rosebud: The structure of this class is pleasing as most things are easily identifiable and the modules are laid out well. I don't have to question where most things which is great when I'm trying to balance full-time work.

Thorn: There was only one assignment so far where it wasn't posted into the modules and I only identified it when I searched for all assignments due. However, everything else is great!

# data[].attributes.body
So far I am enjoying taking this class. I think what makes it even better is knowing this is my second course with Dr. Ortiz. So far, one thing that is going well for me is how organized each assignments are coordinated. It allows me to have a better insight for planning and completing assignments in a timely manner. I enjoy the topics of the class that is being taught so far.

A thorn is balancing my personal life as a mom and also working full time. I tend to find myself starting the week off great with completing some assignments, and then completing assignments before the due date a day early.

# data[].attributes.body
ROSEBUD: I really enjoy this class because I can complete assignments at my own place. The professor is very nice and responsive as well. She makes each assignment very engaging.

THORN: I really can't complain about anything maybe just sometimes I can procrastinate but other than that it is all right!!

# data[].attributes.body
One thing that is going well for me is that I understand the main ideas from the readings and lectures better than I expected, especially around topics like aging, health, and social issues. The assignments are helping me connect concepts to real life, which makes it easier to remember.

One thing that could improve is having more time to go through the chapters and review before quizzes. This summer I am taking four classes, so it can get a bit overwhelming to manage everything and keep up with all the work. I was honestly surprised by how many real-life issues are covered in social problems class and how deeply we study them.

# data[].attributes.body
Rosebud:

I think the best part of taking this class is the assignments and how simple it is to do them, And also how you learn so much from one video.

Thorn:

I would not say its the class in particular but I am also taking 4 other courses during the summer break so its kinda hard to manage and then having my daily life.

# data[].attributes.body
rosebud: What I've been doing good is completing my assignments and keeping my grades up, and being able to actually take away from this class and actually connect the material we go over to the real world and what i see in my daily life, now a thorn I have is just remembering to get my assignments done and efficiently, I am still struggling balancing work and school, I work everyday including weekends besides Tuesday, so I struggle to not procrastinate and get stuff done, I see the due date is on Sunday and keep telling myself oh I can push it to the next day until its Sunday and I have a lot of work to get done on a Sunday night.

# data[].attributes.body
Rosebud: One thing that is going well for me in this class is understanding the material better over time. The lectures and discussions have helped me learn social issues that are connected to society as a 16 year old.

Thorn: One thing that could improve is managing my time and staying fully caught up with readings and deadlines, especially when I have multiple assignments from different classes. Sometimes the workload can feel overwhelming, so better time management and planning ahead would help me stay more organized and less stressed because I am a student athlete and Sunday is my only day off.

# data[].attributes.body
Rosebud: I've found all of the course material so far super interesting so I've genuinely enjoyed doing homework for this class.

Thorn: I really thought about it and I honestly can't really think of a thorn that's been poking me throughout this course as it's one of the courses I've been struggling the least with this semester honestly. I guess maybe I could go a little more in depth when it comes to my peer responses perhaps?

# data[].attributes.body
Rosebud: This class pace is very fun and how helpful it is, even the short assignmentd help me understand.

thorn: I havent been feeling to good for te past few months and it messes with how i perform in school. What makes it worse is that i do everything last minute.

# data[].attributes.body
Rose bud- I thoroughly enjoy learning about problems I never saw or fully understood, it's very easy to get caught up in our own world we forget everything going on the outside I feel like I'm learning more about myself along with the world. I feel like our experiences growing up have a big impact on how we see issues today.

Thorn- One thing that's a thorn to me is time management, while I know things need to get done, I procrastinate a lot or simple forget and this is where stress can accumulate.

# data[].attributes.body
rosebud : Feeling motivated towards working on my educational and career goals.

thorn : Getting easily distracted with work and other things so I start procrastinating homework.

# data[].attributes.body
One rosebud in the class so far is that the discussions and topics have been engaging and thought provoking. The material encourages deeper thinking about real world issues, which makes the class feel meaningful rather than just memorizing information. It has been interesting to see different perspectives and ideas shared.One thorn is that at times the workload or pacing can feel a bit overwhelming, especially when multiple assignments are due close together. It can make it harder to fully focus on each task and absorb the material. Adjusting the pacing or spacing out assignments more could help improve the overall learning experience.

# data[].attributes.body
One thing that has been going well for me is that I have been doing well in all my classes. I have been able to study and take notes pretty easily and feel like I am actually learning a lot.

One thing that hasn't been going well is my physical health. I had a muscle strain and have not been to the gym or played any sports for two weeks. I have also had bad allergies, and I feel like sneezing all the time.

# data[].attributes.body
Rosebud: Classes and grades have been coming out great; I am scoring extremely well, and I am proud of myself for keeping up the hardwork. I also got into UCLA 2 days ago! The weather has also begun to get warmer, allowing me to feel happier as a whole.

Thorn: I've begun procrastinating more than ever before; my will to keep going is shrinking smaller and smaller as the semester continues, and I'm just waiting for summer to begin.

# data[].attributes.body
rosebud: what I have been good in this class is the pace I don't feel rushed I can get my every day responsibilities done and at the end of the week I can take my time and actually learn something interesting that can further my understanding in the topic and what people can go through.

thorn: although this class is great for my pace and how I want to do things sometimes when its been a frustrating week I see the assignments and it just feels like a burden and more like a chore that a learning experience.

# data[].attributes.body
One thing that is going well for me in this class a “rosebud” is my growing ability to understand how social environments shape individual behavior. Concepts like social structures, inequality, and cultural influences have helped me see real-world issues in a new way. I find myself connecting class material to everyday situations, which makes the learning more meaningful and engaging.

One area that could improve a “thorn” is staying consistent with keeping up on readings and fully engaging with all assigned materials. Sometimes the workload from other classes makes it challenging to stay on top of everything, which can affect how deeply I understand certain topics. Moving forward, I want to manage my time better so I can stay more consistent and get the most out of the course.

# data[].attributes.body
Rosebud: This course highlights so many issues that I love learning about. I want to go to college for sociology and this course is great for my interests.

Thorn: I have been depressed this last month so it has been hard to get in work on time or manage my time better. Sometimes, I wish there were other resources I could use to learn, because having to do the reading gets hard. When I get through a few pages, I get easily distracted or reminded about something stressful in my life.

# data[].attributes.body
Rosebud: This class is always helping me understand the world around me implementing what we learn with what I do.

Thorn: Life has been hitting me hard this semester with professional highs and recovering from personal events. Nonetheless immersing myself in school helps me navigate it all.

# data[].attributes.body
I can't complain, I think mostly I'm enjoying and the class is meeting my expectations.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I enjoy the pacing of the class and I feel that the topics of the class are very worth while to learn

2. I struggle with procrastination and I sometimes push things off to the very end. And sometimes I may not complete an assignment on time because I push it off to last minute

# data[].attributes.body
Rosebud: I appreciate that the class can be completed at your own pace, and the topics are extremely engaging. The content is structured in a way that doesn't make me have anxiety about upcoming tasks or assignments.

Thorn: I have a really bad memory, and paired with procrastination, I struggle with doing the discussions on time, but this is something I am personally working on.

# data[].attributes.body
Rosebud: Its been going well for me in this class because its easy to learn new topics that i'm aware of but never knew more about.

Thorn: I could do better in managing my time and finding a balance when it comes to doing the things that needs to be done.

# data[].attributes.body
Rosebud: I genuinely love the different perspectives from everyone. & Whenever my brain is able to focus, I feel somewhat whole.

Thorn: I just got over an intense mental crisis that lasted longer than I expected. I really like the course, and I want to keep up. I'm trying my hardest to catch up, but it has been hard for me to concentrate and meet deadlines. But I am trying, really trying to pick up my slack for all my classes

Signed: CM

# data[].attributes.body
Rosebud : I genuinely enjoy this class because I feel that we are constantly learning something that currently pertains to us, our society, our community, etc. This class is easier to manage. For example, I know that the assignments are typically due on the same days and this makes it easier to manage. The scheduling of the assignment, quizzes, etc. is really consistent so it just feels organized and I don't feel stressed or overwhelmed. On top of this the lectures are also educational and really interesting. I also feel that being able to share your opinions, like we do on our discussions posts, as well as read others is very healthy to expand our knowledge and even open our minds more.

Thorn: My thorn is personally just my time management. I am taking multiple classes and on top of that I have work so I feel that I need to better my time management skills. When I feel behind on school work I get anxious and overwhelmed to so alleviate these negative feelings I need to get better at managing my time.

Rosebud: This class is the best class I have this semester. Having the week to do the assignments is really helpful and makes studying a lot easier.

Thorn: One of my thorns is that i tend to procrastinate a lot, especially with discussion boards. I try to work out when to do each assignment with my other classes and sometimes I end up having to do them the day or even night they are due.

Rosebud: One thing I’ve liked about this class is that I can complete each assignment at my own pace and time availability. Makes my life much easier when having to balance home, work, and school. The lectures are also interesting and corresponds well with chapters covered.

Thorn: The discussion posts are a thorn for me so far but only because I’m taking multiple classes and I find myself saving them for last which makes me have anxiety when they all pile up before the due dates.

Rosebud:

I enjoy the coursework and I find it easy. I also like the fact that I am now equipped with the appropriate terminology when discussing hot topic issues.

Thorn:

I procrastinate, and I struggle with time management. I also have a hard time formulating myself, and I don't like the lack of engagement I receive on my discussion posts. There isn't a lot of meaningful discussions anyway, which is typical for most classes I've had.

Rosebud:

I like the way that the class is structured and how we have both lectures and readings to rely on to help us learn. Sometimes it's easier for me to absorb information when I am hearing it compared to when I am reading it, so the video lectures really help me understand the chapters better.

Thorn:

I sometimes leave the work for the last minute, which is something that I am trying to work on. It's a bit difficult to try to balance how I should prioritze certain classes, especially when I am working as well, but I have definitely gotten way better at it as the school year goes on.

Rosebud: One thing I love about this class is that we take time throughout our day to reply and discuss how we feel about each other's opinions.           Thorn: One thing I want to improve on is my connection with myself and finding what I can do as a person, and see how far I can push myself

Rosebud: This class is easy to keep up which makes it fairly easy to absorb its material. I don't feel stressed about assignments and tests, which is refreshing. Plus, I'm able to relate what I learn to DB posts to understand on a deeper level.

Thorn: I'm taking a lot of classes this semester and overall have a lot going on. so my time management hasn't really been the greatest as of late. But it's still something I'm working on, so it's a process.

Rosebud: One thing that is going very well is always being asked good questions on our discussion which allows me to think really hard about my answer or in general my opinions and learning my thoughts or different things I don’t often think about.

Thorn: something I could improve on is doing more research about different things even something’s that I don’t necessarily would be involved in or spoken about just so I am more aware what is going on not only on a surface level but in depth as well.

Rosebud: I think all of the new information and perspectives have helped with my educational journey. My understanding of these topics has transferred over to some of my other courses which has helped me tremendously.

Thorn: My time management. I have always struggled with procrastination and with everything going on in my schedule, between work and my other classes, I feel like I have a hard time keeping up with everything. It's not really a course problem, rather a personal struggle.

Rosebud; I like the class discussion because they help me think about new ideas and learn from others.

Thorn; I need to plan my time better because sometimes I leave my work until the last minute.

Rosebud: I have personally enjoyed how well the class is structured. You have had great discussion questions and I have enjoyed answering them and seeing what classmates think. I also have enjoyed every topic we have learned about it's very knowledgeable and don't get bored of learning.

Thorn: I have enjoyed the class so it's nothing against the class itself it's a personal thing which is that since I know regardless I have to turn in my homework I wait 1-2 days before it's due when I could just do it when I get it.

-Rosebud: One thing that is going well is how easy, educational and understandable this course has been. Every assignment has been simple and doesn’t feel overbearing.

-Thorn: One thing that can be improved within myself is not waiting last minute to turn things in. I am doing really good in this class, turn everything in before the due date but I wait 2-3 days before the due date to do everything.

Rosebud; Personally, I've enjoyed the structure/formatting of the class, and i've gotten use to turning in discussions and assignments regularly! I also really enjoy reading the different perspectives in the discussion boards too, engaging with classmates has been the most rewarding.

Thorn; My track of time is atrocious, while i try to complete assignments before the actual due date, I somehow manage to underestimate how much time i need per assignment and spend the entire day working on one subject.

Rosebud: I have learned a lot about social behavior. I love the way that the videos go over everything so clearly. They make it easier for me to understand the information.

Thorn: I got behind in the beginning due to my living situation. So it took me some time to catch up. because I was behind in my other classes too. So i had to put less time than i wanted too in this class.

# data[].attributes.body
Rosebud: One thing that I like about the class is that structure of the class and how it is easy to navigate and able to do it at your own pace.

Thorn: I feel that a problem that I have is not fully sticking to the schedule I made for myself to finish homework on time. I feel that once I fully stick to the schedule, then managing the homework would be easy.

Rosebud:

I think this class opens our eyes and our minds to a lot of social issues going on within our local community and around the world. I enjoy learning more about what causes and leads to these social problems. This course helps students become not only aware of but also empathetic about the predicaments other people might be in whether by choice or not.

Thorn:

I still have a problem with time management and have trouble find the right balance for work, school, and life. I hope this is something I will be able to improve.

Rosebud: I enjoy everything that has been covered in this class. The disscussion boards allows me to learn from other and their perspectives. I also enjoy the structure of the class. It's a simple schedule to follow and plan ahead when to complete the readings and assignments.

Thorn: I've been committing a lot of time to my bio lab. I struggle with science and I feel that I'm not dedicating as much to this class because I'm focusing on that class so much. My schedule is busy working full-time and being a mother, I hope that I can manage my time better after this break.

# data[].attributes.body
A rosebud would be that the class is thorough and the videos help with the explanations and covering context that we go through so it makes it a lot more easier to navigate and have a clarified understanding.

A thorn would be keeping up with the dates and times when everything is due, and not forgetting to respond to the discussions of other classmates

Rosebud: I really enjoy this class overall. I like the structure of the class (the lecture, the reading, the discussion post, and the quiz) I feel like it's very conducive to learning and retention of the material.

Thorn: Funnily enough, I feel so comfortable and confident in this class that it takes a back burner to the classes that I don't enjoy. I know that might not make a lot of sense. I recognize that I need to make more time for this class and prioritize it more because I like it so much. I'm now making more time for it during the week as well. :)

Rosebud: I really enjoy learning about social problems in the world. I think it is very important to stay informed on these topics. I also enjoy participating in class discussions because it helps me think more deeply and hear other viewpoints.

Thorn: I’m taking a lot of classes, and though I really enjoy this one, I find it hard to manage my time and really absorb the information the way I want to.
