I can honestly say that taking the class was the most motivating and beneficial class I have take thus far at Baylor. Dr. Talbert does an incredible job and pulling you into the conversation and modeling what we are to be doing as teachers. Let me put it this way, the class was on Monday nights, and after the first class I was legitimately sad when I had to miss class. I would even encourage you to take this course as a elective if it is not required. My outlook on teaching as completely changed as a result. You will not fully understand what I mean by this until you have taken this class. What makes the class in addition to the content taught is Dr. Talbert. Our time was not wasted but our opinions were what drove the conversation. He was such a great example of the teacher facilitation the conversation.
My views on race, privilege and sexuality have really been altered after this class. Hearing from my classmates and listening to the points Dr. Talbert pointed out have really opened my eyes to my “sheltered” view on these issues. I would recommend this class to anyone who wants to make an impact in the world.
