Mainly a good course. However, I was surprised by a couple of generalizations made about girls. Particularly that in middle school they might start to underachieve because they’re deciding whether to be smart or popular. I feel that doesn’t represent young girls today. The example of bringing in fashion designers to encourage girls to be interested in science subjects seems to stereotype girls interests.
