A Look at Life Through the Eyes of a Wise Woman: Pokie Cottrell
“I learned a lot about women in this class that I never knew or thought was going on.”
“It was neat not being tested on class material. I learned so much more through discussions and actual learning rather than being force fed information.”
“I absolutely loved this class … opened my eyes up to so many issues that I never knew were there.”
“I’ve had 3 other classes like these here @ RU – each teacher made you want to come to class instead of forcing you.
I’ve learned more in classes taught this [way] than the other ones that just make you memorize. Thank you for making me WANT to come!”
“GREAT COURSE! I learned so much in this class. Great material and fun class. I recommend this to everyone!”
“Best class I have taken at RU.”
“I loved this class, it was very interesting and eye opening.”
