CollegeLots of essays for this class. Total of three 8-page essays. Write down what he says in lecture and basically repeat and elaborate on essays. He's pretty old school and doesn't use gaucho space. Hard to understand him sometimes w/ his accent. He's a lenient grader though which is nice. If looking for an easy 'A', then don't take this class.
Genuine Professor. He cares about his students. He gives you the grade you deserve. Easy going and funny. He knows what he is talking about and can answer literally any question you may have. I would recommend him and I would definitely take one of his courses again.
Professor is very kind and welcoming to students. Lectures are difficult to be engaged in because it is one single document with paragraphs. TA Miriam was horrible for this course, switching section structures and participation heavy in section. Easy grader however, and great GE course. Midterm paper and final paper (take home). Would take again.
He is very sweet and caring, often dismisses our class early and sometimes has it on Zoom. He does ramble a lot but seriously does care about his students and what he teaches. He says go gauchos a lot. I would highly recommend this class to anyone he just wants to talk to people
Prof Akudinobi is a very enthusiastic and knowledgable lecturer. He is very willing to give students feedback and advice on writing.
Akudinobi is a great instructor and you can get a lot out of his classes as long as you actually read!! He's super funny & caring. Grade is mainly based on a take-home midterm and final plus 1 paper. Make sure you participate
