BLST49C . 4 Years Ago

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

Unorganized class and readings are long.

BLST49A . 5 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.

BL49A . 10 Months Ago

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.

Super nice teacher, take advantage of office hours! Try to at least skim the reading, because there are a LOT, but worth taking!
