0 reviewsS21I really enjoyed this course. Overall it was pretty chill, there were a lot of reading but it seems like he doesn't expect you to get through all of them (you can get by very easily by just skimming them). I found his lectures to be pretty interesting, he is definitely a yapper, but is very passionate and well-researched. I also appreciated our meditation and stretches that he facilitated at the beginning of each class.

Very relaxing class. Can really switch off if you want to. Very personal papers you need to write. In the middle of the semester you are put on the spot to talk about your opinion on free speech for 40 seconds +
JML is awesome and made this class really enjoyable (even as I realized that I'm not all that interested in EDST). We began every class with meditation and "power yells." I enjoyed the readings but lots of my classmates got by without ever doing them. JML is an energetic lecturer. Several of the bigger projects we did were in groups (designing an "ideal school," having team debates, etc.) and we were given plenty of class time to prepare for those assignments.
