Student Feedback

Honors Collegium 109: Living Consciously: Philosophy in Everyday Life

“I really enjoyed Professor Anderson’s course. This curriculum highlighted skills that I are essential and that I will carry with me for a long time. This class had some of the most lively and engaging discussions I’ve ever had in a UCLA course. The online classroom was an atmosphere in which I felt comfortable sharing and being vulnerable, which I believe I was integral to my mastery of the course material.”

“Dr. Terri Anderson is a phenomenal professor and I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to learn from her. Besides being really good at teaching, her lectures are beyond engaging, and the materials we used in the class were actually life-changing. It is obvious that she works very hard and cares deeply about all of her students and truly wants the best for us all. I look forward to taking any additional classes she offers.”
