CollegeHe's a great professor, but I wouldn't recommend him for anyone who isn't a decent writer.
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
Can seem pretty daunting at first, but is a nice charismatic professor. Honestly didn't attend many lectures but the sections led by Miriam Burnett were great and super insightful, she's amazing. Be ready to do lots of reading and writing in this course but it's doable if you don't get behind.
