I had him Fall of 2020 and his class seemed intimidating but it was so doable. You can easily skim the reading as class begins and when in section discuss/piggyback off of others statements to get participation credit. The weekly writing responses are very straightforward and leave a lot of room for expansion. The lectures are not needed to do well

He is so funny, engaging, and just overall a great professor. It may be difficult to understand him sometimes because of his heavy accent, but he is really kind and willing to dedicate time outside of class to explain/help you out with anything.

BLST49A . Chikowero M 1 Year, 1 Month 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.
