Student Experience

Some nice things that students have said about my classes:

Rose has a very solid understanding of the issues women face in political/authority positions, her knowledge was always consistent and she helped us learn by incorporating fun, diverse, and pedagogical exercises to bring to the seminar.

The atmosphere in the seminars is really great. It is formal and structured enough to keep the conversation moving and to keep learning new things, but informal enough that discussion happens naturally. I never feel like I’m going to be judged for speaking up in class.

I really enjoy the lecture/seminar style of this module. The in class discussions are interesting and provide a safe environment for us to express our opinions. Rose provides a variety of tasks, encompassing lots of learning styles, making this class very accessible.
