I am a senior, so I have had a range of different academic experiences. Compared to my other professors, Professor Povitz is a genius in keeping students engaged — when other professors stick to the classic reading/lecture structure, she is able to assign meaningful readings, assignments, and day-to-day class plans that connect students to each other and keep us interested/passionate in the course material. While I have led discussions in other classes, when I was assigned to lead class discussion in her class, she gave me the most agency and greatest experience of intentional collaboration with her (i.e. us sharing a google doc to plan class agenda).
