I took AS AM 168, but it's not an option cause it a new class. Professor Pandya is by far one of the best professors I've had at this school. He is an extremely intelligent and inspiring Professor. There were only 3-4 papers and attendance/participation as a grade. If you have any chance to take one of his classes I'd jump at it.

As a Fem studies major i really enjoyed this course. I really learned a lot. I really appreciated the course structure as it was very organized, and the grading was very clear. The class was light on the lecturing and there were group presentations nearly everyday (2x per person) midterm/final essays

I really enjoyed Professor Pandya's class. The only homework was the readings, and your grade is based on section attendance, midterm, and final which are both three essay questions. It is not mandatory to attend the lectures but I would recommend you go and because that is where he talks about the themes and everything that's on the tests.

loved this class and Professor Pandya so much. There was a midterm and a final, both like 3 essay questions. Super predictable questions and all themes heavily discussed in class. Pandya was super knowledgeable and his perspectives were super interesting to hear. Love how the readings built off each other, culminated together beautifully.

Prof Pandya explained concepts in an understandable way. Readings were long and not hard to understand. Midterm and final were based primarily on readings so again just make sure you do them and can get a few concepts/themes to write about. Participate in section and you should be able to get a good grade.

Professor Pandya is one of the most-well spoken instructors I've ever had. His lectures were incredibly interesting and informative, and the topics discussed around Asian American experience were well-developed, and they gracefully related to the assigned readings. The books chosen for the class were valuable for a frame of reference. Overall 10/10
