Lots of essays for this class. Total of three 8-page essays. Write down what he says in lecture and basically repeat and elaborate on essays. He's pretty old school and doesn't use gaucho space. Hard to understand him sometimes w/ his accent. He's a lenient grader though which is nice. If looking for an easy 'A', then don't take this class.

Genuine Professor. He cares about his students. He gives you the grade you deserve. Easy going and funny. He knows what he is talking about and can answer literally any question you may have. I would recommend him and I would definitely take one of his courses again.

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.

I wish this class wasn't online this quarter (due to the fires and other reasons), but Dr. Akudinobi is an amazing professor. He does ramble in lecture, sometimes useful or just a story. He's hilarious and likes to joke. If you pay attention, skim readings, & do supplemental videos you'll do fine in this class. Only graded on final & midterm.
