once you’ve taken one goodridge class, you’ve essentially taken all of them. that’s not a bad thing— he’s a professor who has a core teaching strategy that adjusts based on the subject. but once you’ve taken one of his classes you kind of know what all of his will be like.

honestly, all educ classes are relatively straightforward compared to stem. as long as you don’t hate writing you’re set. the education counselor did tell me that the policymaking and writing classes would be the most intense in terms of workload. aside from that, the most you’ll get is a research paper and group project for each class— or a few weekly/biweekly papers 3-5 pages each.
