BLST49A . Chikowero M 10 Months Ago

Very disorganized and class structure was non-existent. Professor canceled many lectures and assigned a large research paper with ZERO instructions or a rubric. Also gave a random impromptu quiz at one point in the quarter with zero preparation in the class material. Assigned super long unnecessary readings and prof. has thick accent.

Stay away at all costs. Just like the last review said, this class was extremely disorganized with no clear grading criteria. You will need to read 20-50 pages a week, as expected of a GE. Prof. was very inaccessible online, however, and no-showed office hours he said were required. If doing for a GE, stay away from this Prof. TAs are good though.

DON'T waste your time on this professor. We were supposed to meet for 3 hrs on Mondays, but he canceled 7/10 times. When class did happen, it was only an hour. He even had the nerve to give an impromptu quiz after a month of canceled classes. The syllabus was one paragraph w/ no grading scale, & assignments seem thrown together. Unorganized class.

BLST 49A with Professor Chikowero was an eye-opener of a class. A few lengthy readings due before each lecture, weekly assignments and the occasional quiz, an 8 page research paper, and the final of course. Very informative and humorous in lecture, grades fairly, and encourages questions. Lots of writing required, but amazing learning experience!

This class was easy but boring so it's easy to get behind. I barely went to lecture or section and still passed. The final was easy but the class is honestly disorganized and the grading criteria makes no sense.

HIST49A . Chikowero M 4 Years Ago

Extremely unorganized. He never made assignments clear and it was hard to understand what he expects you to do. Way too many readings. 8 page research paper with no clear instructions, not even a rubric. He said you have to read textbook for final, but final was not even that much based on the textbook. Would not recommend this class, too much work
