This was a good course. A lot of interesting content was covered regarding how education works in the US. Professor Hammerle stresses connecting the ideas learned with your own educational experience. Fun to attend, recommend taking it.
I think this class should be a requirement for Middlebury students, as it puts a spotlight on the privilege many of us have had in our educational journey. This class requires lots of reading, which is rather dull of someone without serious interest in the subject, but Hammerle's projects and teaching style make give the class a great atmosphere and make it fun to attend.
Prof. Hammerle always had a smile on her face and I genuinely loved going to her class and I felt like it was my get away from any chaos because I knew I would feel a sense of community. She truly cares about each student and created a relationship with everyone. She helped me transition into college smoothly when I was struggling with school and athletics, and I found this class helped me get over a lot of that. She even gave everyone a cool stone that said 'Breathe' on it at the end of the year.
