CollegeHe's lit hella easy
Great Prof, very friendly and ready to help. Course work is not too heavy, readings are interesting.
He was not a clear lecturer and if you depend on slides for notes, this ain't for you. I got a B after skipping class the second half of the quarter. Material also was not that interesting; not a difficult GE though.
He is a good lecturer with an incredible understanding of the material. The class isn't particularly difficult and his lectures are thorough, but if you really want an A or A+ you really need to do all the readings as well as show up to class. The readings will usually take between one and two hours to complete but are definitely worth it for the A
DO NOT TAKE AFRICAN HISTORY, unless you really love Africa. This class is sooooo much reading and its very boring. DO NO RECOMMEND
Textbook is dense and I only used it for about two weeks bc it's a lot of reading with the course reader (REALLY helpful btw) and the 3 novels we read. He posts slides online after class, so you can miss a class or 2. Participation matters and if you miss section, you'll automatically get a C in the class! I really enjoyed this class overall- STUDY
