Student Reviews

“The in-class discussions for this course were some of the best I’ve ever been a part of. They made me want to contribute and participate in the conversation.”

“Dr. Ebling welcomed all different perspectives for our readings on topics that are very controversial and was able to steer the conversations so that everyone felt comfortable sharing their opinion and students could have debates that were positive.”

“I really enjoyed this course. It was a super interesting topic and Dr. Ebling did a really good job of clarifying the confusing aspects of the assigned readings. The current events were a great way to both keep us updated on current happenings and promote in-class discussions.”

“This class was my favorite this semester! I gained a deeper understanding of all the topics.”

“Real time discussions were very helpful in learning the material because it was an opportunity to hear the perspectives of others and discuss the topics.”

“Dr. Ebling handled this high-level online course great! He was understanding and really was able to help us feel like we had a normal semester [during the COVID-19 pandemic].”
