Student feedback:

"Seminar on inequality, particularly in the US. Great course, structured well by Dani to ensure that we are on track throughout the quarter to complete our final paper. Challenges you to truly engage with the material, in class discussions and activities promote group learning and collaboration. Overall a great course to finish my degree with"

"Very intellectually stimulating class, introduced new perspectives to me about inequality"

"Dani is definitely one of the best instructors I've had at UCSD and one I'll remember down the line. She strives to make lectures interesting, knowing that 3 hours is a long time. She asks us how we're feeling and to annotate our mood at the beginning of each lecture - she truly does care about us and our well-being. She does this while maintaining a professional atmosphere and explaining material well"

"I really loved your in class discussions. It really promoted free thinking and allowed everyone to share their own ideas and inputs from other students. I think that something you can work on is transitioning into other material smoother or after a student has finished giving their input. Overall great class and teaching structure."

"Dani did a great job planning interactive activities during class. She always made sure to check in on her students. She pushed her students but never overstepped. I thoroughly enjoyed coming and participating in lecture"

"This is definitely one of the best classes I have ever taken at UCSD. Dani will definitely get you thinking, she will challenge your ideas, using different learning methods to keep you engaged. "
