Professor Share is my favorite professor by far. He provides engaging lectures and brings in speakers each week. He is super supportive and understanding, he really wants what is best for his students. I learned so much during this class and enjoyed every second of it. Professor Share did one-on-one 10 minute entrance and exit interviews to meet us which I thought was really nice because professors never really do this kind of stuff. The readings were interesting and related to the topics we discussed each week. There was groupwork but it was honestly really easy because we assigned each other different sections. There are small projects throughout the quarter and a midterm and final essay. The final essay was basically a revision of our midterm essay but with a broader analysis. I highly recommend this class!

Honestly a very useless class. Extremely easy and I'd be surprised if anyone got lower than an A; it's entirely graded for completion, so if you show up to class and do assignments you'll get a good grade. But the class is way too wishy-washy.

There is no real content. Hardly anyone does the readings, and even if you do them, they are useless. Entirely social-justice oriented; certainly an important topic, but there is no real content about the teaching profession, pedagogical strategies, career paths, etc. Basically every lecture is some version of "our system is horrible and racist and hurts most students," but the only solutions offered a complete overhaul of how we educate, which won't happen in our lifetimes. Would be nice if he actually attempted to give students resources to be good teachers within the current systems; we are going to go teach kids, and not everyone can change the world. Would have more of an impact to learn strategies to succeed in the world we live in.

Prof Share is very dismissive of anyone with opinions viewing from his own (even when such opinions are as evidence-backed as his). E.g. if you say you think there's a place for grades in schools, he'll talk to you like you're crazy. The guest speakers were the only asset to this class. It is disappointing how many education classes are completion based without real content. Not really enabling future teachers to be knowledgable and hard-working, but if you need an easy A, this is certainly it. Just get ready to be bored out of your mind.

Jeff did a wonderful job creating a welcoming and equitable classroom. His kindness made me want to try my best in the course, even though the grading made it clear that the course was low stakes.
