It was clear Linus was interested in the course but I expected a bit more from a 400 level seminar course. There was not a lot of discussion and a lot of repeititon. I was also not particularly interested in the topic at hand and I feel like there was a lot more interesting ways to approach this topic. It felt too theory based and could have had more specific examples and more conversations around colonialism and race and how those interplay with tourism and tourist expectations. A very easy course but would not recommend unless your a sociology major and need to fill your requirement.

This class is great and although the writing is very intense and time-consuming, Matt splits it up into parts over the semester which makes it much easier to complete. The course is based on a pilot project that many students develop into their senior thesis. He made the components very clear and was always available to help with the writing and research. It is definitely a bit more challenging than other research methods courses at Middlebury as you have to actually conduct a large portion of research but it is still an enjoyable course!

Professor McCallum is awesome! The class material had potential to be very boring but Jamie made and fun and worthwhile. He really enjoys and respects students that try to participate and he has lots of funny and relevant stories to share in class. We only wrote 2 papers and had a final "exam" which was open note and very straight forward. I really enjoyed this class and it made me want to minor in sociology!
