About Darla Still's Teaching

• "This course made me think much more in depth about social issues and mental health."
• "Darla treated her students as adults, meaning, she gave us the decision whether to go to class or not which really helps feel powered. Eventhough people hardly participated and attended classes, she taught as if there were 3412312 people in the room. REALLY ENJOYED THIS CLASS."
• "From the start of the course Darla wanted to know what specific drug topics we were interested in researching and she tailored the class that way. It was so great that the whole semester half of the work we were doing was going directly to our own interests."
• "I enjoyed the instructor's passion for the topics discussed."
• "I really enjoyed the topics discussed throughout the course and learning about the sociological reasons behind drug addiction, the policies in place to address them, and policies that should be put into place."
• "I really like learning about Mental Illness and how it affects people. This course is new to the University so I'm glad to be one of the first students to take this course."
• "I liked the concept of this course and looking at mental health/mental illness from a different perspective rather than just medical."
• "I liked how the content we learned about was very interesting. I also liked how most of the assignments were thought-provoking and helped me understand the material better."
• "I really enjoyed learning about the sociological concepts in this course. I learned so much in this class and it was all super interesting. This is not something I normally say for classes, but I loved being a part of this class."
• "I think the instructor did a great job in streamlining the class for a summer session. I feel like I have a firm handle on a lot of the content despite the time constraints. Additionally, there was absolutely no "busy work" which was really pleasant. I felt like every assigned reading was relevant to the material."
