I'm enrolled. I took the summer off. It was much needed. I'm ready to hit the books again.

I took this class last spring. We had to a series of interviews with an elderly person and ask them questions from the textbook and then write it up. Also, I believe this is the class you need to read "Tuesdays with Morrie" or watch the movie. Helps to have a copy of the book handy for reference. I don't recall that the quizzes were tricky or difficult. Just the usual busy work for this class. But, nothing that bad. Also, found Cultural diversity to be an easy class to get through.

Best wishes.

What Em said! Not a bad class - I just found it to be emotionally difficult for me. Cultural Diversity was one of my favorites!!

Agree with the first part of the first sentence, the second part, well, let's just say, not so much . . .

I was prepared to dislike Cultural Diversity but it did not live up to my expectations and was actually pretty interesting. I wound up interviewing a colleague of mine from work who is a Hindu (actually a Jain) from the Bengali region and actually found his believe system absolutely fascinating. Learned a lot about Indian culture generally in the process. The moral of the story is that if a curmudgeon like me can find something to like, Cultural Diversity can't be all that bad.

I would agree with Chuckster's thoughts on Cultural Diversity, it surprised me. It really wasn't too bad. Good Luck
