Overall it's an easy A class. The material was engaging and the class was interactive, however, sometimes Dr. Alexander can be a harsh grader when uncalled for.

Lynch School of Education & Human Development
What does it mean to be an educated person? At first, we must defer to the answers of others. Over time, we become curious about our formation. What does all of this schooling add up to? How do all of my influences beyond school fit together? We realize that it is time to take responsibility for our own education, to reflect on what it is admirable to become, to locate resources for self-cultivation, and to integrate them into a life worth living. But this is not solitary work. Together we will consider a range of rich, rival conceptions of what it means to be educated. In this way, you will be invited to join one of the oldest and richest dialogues, the educational conversation.

Classes can get boring, but if you read and stay engage in class conversations it is very interesting and fun to be in. No exams and his papers are not hard to write and grading is chill. He's willing to help anyone and is really kind.
