Prof Akudinobi is a very enthusiastic and knowledgable lecturer. He is very willing to give students feedback and advice on writing.

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.

Although we was a really great guy- totally hilarious, cared deeply, wanted everyone to pass- his lectures lacked content. It seemed as if he were rambling off the top of his head for the entire lecture. There were five papers in ten weeks (including the final and midterm), which was a lot, but he was very clear about grading and what was expected.

Dr. Akudinobi is a caring and hilarious dude. Everyone loves him, if not the class. The class is hard to sit through since it's an 8 AM but you don't really need to retain anything from lecture (mandatory). Two 4-page papers for the midterm, one 8-page term paper, and two 4-page papers for the final. Class consists of 10 books, just read a few.

Pointless lectures. Everything he said was obvious if you read; I learned the most from section. He always shows up late too. However, attendance is 25% of your grade so try to go as often as possible. Try to read at least 5 out of 10 books to write the essays. He's a nice guy but I didn't enjoy the class. Easy A, just put in some some effort.

Just showing up is an easy 25% of your grade (kind of sucks for an 8 am class but be thankful for the easy points!). The class was four essays, 4 pages each. 2 for your midterm, you got your prompt 5 days before it was due and you got to pick your prompt, so long story short- you don't need to read all 10 books, just write about the ones you know.
