great
by Bryan M. on July 7, 2025
This course was mostly informative, but it was also heavily biased toward the idea of population control by way of reducing family sizes, ignoring the negative impacts shown in the countries who have implemented such controls.
by APRIL H. on July 7, 2025
Class overall was super easy, well written and informative. Having to do a crazy 6-8 page paper was a bit of a challenge.
