Professor Desai is a really sweet lady. However, this honors seminar is long and sometimes boring. If you really want to learn more about gender inequality, education, the caste system, and poverty you'll enjoy this seminar. This class wasn't very much work and the TA was a fairly easy grader. We only had two papers and a poster project which is much less work than many seminars. The assignments didn't require much research outside the textbook. |

As with all Honors Seminars, this course is kind of hit or miss. If you really love the topic, you will like it. Otherwise it is kind of dull. If you want to learn about Indian food and Bollywood movies, you are in the wrong class. You will learn a lot about the caste system and poverty and educational and gender inequalities in India. Professor Desalde is nice and the TA she had grade the papers is a fair grader, but this class was hard to sit through. It is my latest, longest, and farthest away class so it is just hard to have an attention span. That being said, it is not a difficult class. The only assignments are 2 papers and a final project, all open to interpretation so that you can personalize it to you. |
