EGMT 1520

Class is the easiest A: you're only graded by weekly 1 page reflections and a group project at the end that you work on in class. Dr. G is so nice, caring and passionate. You just go on weekly walks around Grounds and learn about UVA's history. Very political/race-based, but informative. In-class lectures definitely get boring, though.

I highly suggest this engagement course. This class goes through the history of UVA. Homework is primarily short written reflections once or twice a week. Towards the beginning of the quarter you will also have a few readings but they don't take long and honestly were very interesting. Every week Gillet will lead you on a walking tour of UVA. This was probably my most memorable engagement. I learned a lot about UVA's history and visited a lot of places that I would have never stopped to pay attention to otherwise. We made stops at Special Collections Library, Harlem Renaissance Exhibit, the Memorial for Enslaved Laborers, the pavilions on the Lawn, remnants of the old medical amphitheater, and the graveyard on grounds. It is easy to get an A in this engagement with very little work.
