This course was super interesting for me and if you are able to actively participate, you will learn a lot of really interesting information about higher education. I would really recommend this class to anyone who wants to learn more about how higher education functions as a machine.
This is a very unconventional course for the Sociology department. It's a creative non-fiction writing class that explores sociology in a very broad sense, doesn't require much theoretical knowledge at all. Prof. Tiger primarily uses flash non-fiction in her own work/ research, so it's very valuable to get insight and advice on how to balance the social and the individual stories. The 'homework' is writing, as much as you can, editing / workshopping, and fairly short reading assignments. We'd reach short stories weekly that use different techniques and try them in our own writing to see how it works, if it fit our writing, etc. The class was low-stress high-value, with only 1 big "assignment" which was a public reading at the end of the semester where we read 1 piece we had refined, and which was also an incredibly rewarding experience. I recommend both Prof. Tiger and this class to everyone!!

Jamie is a great teacher. I really enjoyed the way he presented material, and he is highly passionate about what he teaches. This class will encourage you to think critically about Capitalist systems.
