An introduction to the interdisciplinary field of Native American Studies. The course familiarizes students with the variety of disciplinary approaches to Native American Studies (Religious Studies, Chicano Studies, Anthropology, History, Literary Studies, etc.). More importantly, the course seeks to create an understanding of Indigenous theories and methodologies that transcend disciplinary boundaries and that are derived from an Indigenous and non-western epistemology.

134NA . 15 Days Ago

TA barely graded anything until the last few weeks, prof submitted grades almost 2 weeks late. Disputed 'inflated' 'wrong' online grades of 90-100% and just straight up removed a letter grade from other people I talked to. 100% gets an A-, etc. Reading (800+ pages) wasn't really needed. Attendance was threatened but not taken in a 200 person room.

You have to be able to speak the language of Prof. Waid. She is kind, intelligent, & inspiring. What hurt me was to see the level of disrespect from the class toward her (laughing at her when she gets passionate). This class is NOT an "easy A". If you are planning to take this class to fulfill some requirement, I would recommend a different one.

134NA . 1 Year, 6 Months Ago

Really bad, held a final over our heads the whole time and then didn't put in a grade when grades were due until 2 weeks later. Extremely unclear, got mad when kids left early even though it was a 3 hour class. Nice enough when you try to email her 1 on 1, but ultimately a very bad professor.

Most unprofessional teacher.She took the syllabus off Guachospace so we couldnt see the grading criteria. Held a final over students heads(never happened)Hard to follow lectures. She took it into her own hands against what TAs told us for grading on final projects,went back to grade projects harder resulting in NA grade for two weeks after deadline

Unclear expectations throughout the entire quarter and she rambled in lecture. Constantly told us we might have a final to scare people into reading or going to lecture. Right when grades were due, she decided to regrade everything herself with a "higher level of scrutiny" because of poor attendance and submitted grades 2 weeks late. Such a joke

The least organized, almost rude professor I have ever had. Never knew what was going on in the class. Like others I still have not received a grade. So confused 0/10 recommend.
