McAuley is by far the most accommodating professor I've had during remote learning and goes out of his way to help bolster your final grade. Your grade is based on your performance on 3 papers that correspond with the 5 assigned books the readings are really engrossing, so you'll get a lot out of the class even if you're not an avid reader!

Excellent class, excellent professor. Lectures were complex but McAuley was more than willing to take questions. I loved the readings and really felt like I came away with a better understanding of Marxism in the context of the US civil rights struggles. Midterm and final essays were very open-ended which isn't for everyone, but I appreciated.

Very chill and nice. You learn real things. I did better than I thought I would because I didn't attend all the lectures or read all of the books. Would definitely take again.

lectures had no direction or point, papers had no clear guidelines. could not tell you what i was supposed to learn and what i did learn was nothing

do not take this class. just save yourself. he does not explain anything

Unclear grading criteria, unorganized lectures, dont feel like I have a better understanding of content than I did before. Grade is based on 3 papers (one dropped). 5 books assigned but I only read two of them and I was fine.
