I honestly took this class just because it seemed like an easy way to get 2 GenEds and a free A+ but this was honestly one of my favorite classes. I thought that I would have learned nothing after taking this class, but I learned a lot about myself and Dr. Franco gave a lot of great real-world advice when it comes to making/maintaining friendships. Also, because the class size is limited to 20, it is so much easier to connect with other people in class (I've made a couple friends myself from the class). In the end it was a free A+ but I highly recommend taking this class simply because of Dr. Franco. 11/10 would take again. |

Dr. Franco was one of the sweetest professors ever. No phones were allowed in her class but honestly the class was so engaging and hands on that I did not feel I needed it. It was a great way to relax from my difficult STEM coursework. I really enjoyed this class and looked forward to it every week. There were a lot of readings but the discussions in the class were actually so insightful. Highly recommed Dr. Franco and this class. |

Dr. Franco is definitely the most passionate professor about her class. The class activities are related directly to the content and are very enjoyable. Dr. Franco really cares about all of her students and I would recommend this class to anyone and I would definitely take her class again! |

Dr.Franco is super passionate about what she teaches and this class is super engaging with lots of discussions!! She is very understanding of student needs and is always eager to learn about our perspectives. I have learned so much about friendship and gained a lot of valuable communication skills through this class. Her book is fantastic and we learned so many valuable, real-life applicable tips on friendships and relationships as a whole. There aren't too many assignments in this class (a few reflection worksheets and a final presentation). A large part of this class is connecting and bonding with classmates through activities we create in groups, and gaining 20 new, amazing friends was the most rewarding part of this class! I HIGHLY recommend this class if you are in University Honors!! |

Dr.Franco is super passionate about what she teaches! Honestly, I took her “How to Make Friends” class for the easy A, but ended up taking away so much from the class that I was able to apply to my life to become a better person. |

I absolutely loved Dr. Franco. She is extremely sweet and likable, super passionate about loneliness, connection, and relationships, and very welcoming to her students. HNUH248U is unfortunately no longer offered, but I highly recommend taking any of her other classes. It was a super easy but engaging class, where I never stressed about assignments but was always super looking forward to attending class and learning more. If you are lonely, or you are interested in the science of loneliness, or you are passionate about friendship, or you just want a class that actually feels like a community, take a class from Dr. Franco. |

Her class is very easy because there is barely any work and no tests. The activities are engaging and fun, but when she goes into a lecture-based class, it is very boring and research-heavy. It's a very easy gen-ed, so despite the boredom at times, definitely recommended. |

Dr. Franco is such a sweet and great professor. She is very accommodating for those with ADS accommodations. Along with that, her course has little assignments, one big project, and mostly attendance-based. I look forward to this class and enjoy interacting with my classmates. Unfortunately this course/cluster is ending in Spring 2024. There is a new course that is very similar called HNUH269P Building Community: How to Make Friends taught by Dr. Franco. I was thinking about enrolling in this course; however, it counts as a duplicate credit if you've taken HNUH248U. |

Dr. Franco is a kind and awesome professor! She's very accommodating for those with ADS disabilities, responds to emails frequently, and her class is super interesting! There is quite a bit of reading, but there are no reading quizzes/checks. It's definitely helpful to read the books, since it helps with discussions. The course was mainly lectures(short presentations), conversations, and interactive activities. The grading relies heavily on attendance, so make sure you come to class and communicate absences. This has been my favorite UH class, and sadly this course/cluster is ending Spring 2024. |

Really good professor, genuinely cared about her students and always made her presentations really interesting. She made the class about learning something new and not about the grade which I think is something that does allow you to have the best possible "gen-ed class" experience. Everything you learn in this class too is so applicable in your everyday life and the assignments are also applicable to your daily life. Overall a really good experience with a really interesting class, paired with a really amazing teacher who prioritizes the learning and not the grade. |

Professor Franco really cares about her work which this class was about. She is a lenient grader and is very understanding. Does not like phones out during class, but that's really it. |

Passionate about the course material and honestly could not ask for anything else from her. Take her if you can. Just be sure to do the work for the class and all will be well. |

Her class is pretty boring, but I did learn a lot about relationships and how to keep health ones. There is barely any work for the class and is a very easy A. There are also no tests and you lowkey don't have to do the readings. |

Professor Franco was very nice, but it was clear that she only really enjoyed talking about the things that she was interested in. Several classes were dedicated to how she received her book deal (not related to the course), and it was clear from her tone and behavior when she didn't like a particular group's ideas. Additionally, she is not responsive to emails (both through gmail and through canvas). She is clearly passionate about her work and her other classes, but I don't think she was as happy to be teaching this course. |

Really good teacher. She is really passionate about the class/material and you really learn a lot about loneliness/relationships. Class is super useful and interesting, as I learned a lot that can directed be applied to someone in a new place/environment that is college. Super nice and charismatic teacher. Would def recommend to all. 5/5 |

Very sweet person. Very easy A and easy grader. What is great about this class is no note taking from anybody. Instead of being focused on copying down information, you can actually listen to the information and absorb it. I actually think I learned better that way than if I took notes. A lot of reading, but not textbook reading, and many parts were interesting. |

Absolutely amazing! She is so sweet and down to earth, willing to listen and talk to everyone, and just such a wonderful person and professor. Her teaching style is so easy to follow and she keeps you engaged. One of my favorite classes I've ever taken and there is a lot of valuable information to take away and to help you connect with others. I highly recommend and am excited to see what she does in the future! Btw buy her book Platonic! Great read :) |

HNUH100 provided some valuable information, but sometimes it felt just like busywork. Professor Franco was great though, she made some interesting presentations and overall I enjoyed the class. |
