The class was overall pretty easy. There is a final paper that is a bit time consuming, but two worksheets that are assignments before the final paper is due make writing the final a lot easier. They act as planners basically. The class was boring, the topics blended together almost every time. Towards the end it felt like we had talked about desistance and the age-crime curve every minute of every class. Participation is a portion of the grade, so show up, and make sure you read some portion of the readings because some little in class activities about them were turned in every now and again for a participation grade! Our exams were online this semester, but she wasn't going to do this at first. The final became optional during the second-to-last class, which was super helpful because it was going to be on graduation day lol. Dr. Bersani is super awesome though. Very approachable, very welcoming, open to questions, and super detailed in her explanation of concepts, grades, rubrics, etc.

I loved Professor Bersani!! She is soooooo nice, so helpful, and gives opprtunuties for extra credit/extra points. I will say you do not learn THAT much and the slides arent super informative but shes so nice and gives so much opoortunity for participation and discussion. Homework is not that hard, just a one page journal each week. You only need to do 8/15 to get full credit for all of them. Overall, loved her shes super nice.
