CollegeSuch a fun class! He only assigned 1 short reading a week which made it easy to really engage in the material because its not overwhelming. bc of this more students actually read and participated in class so we had awesome discussions. The papers are short too--3.5ish pages. Midterm is just an outline for the final which is a 2.5ish page final.
First day of Summer session, and he takes away some girl's iPad that she was using to take notes...? What is this, high school? Half of the introductory 'lecture' was spent talking about himself, also seems pretty condescending.
Have zero assistance on who want to crush this class even the class is not full. took him forever reply email back, bad communication with student
The lectures are clear. The readings are average length yet interesting. Having once a week class was amazing!The Professor is usually very busy. 2 Briefs; and a research paper due on the final date. Midterm is the outline of your research. Won't know what grade you have in class till it's posted on gold xD Easy class tho. Professor is amazing!
Prof. Amar is very knowledgeable and passionate about the subject. But his lectures are kinda unorganized and the slides are not useful. I hope he could summarize each concept better. And I hope there are better study guides for the exams. 3 papers, two exams, and participation.
Prof Amar is very knowledgeable and also brings intersectionality, race issues etc. In my opinion he is very easy to talk to however he calls on people during class so attendance is mandatory and there are a lot of readings. There are 3 short papers, 1 midterm and 1 final which are pretty easy. Interesting material, I recommand this class.
