Professor Akudinbi is well versed in the subjects he teaches. He might sidetrack a bit, but he does cover all the topics he wants to see in the tests/papers. Three assignments beside the attendance worth your entire grade. Very fun and personable, willing to aid those who participate but its largely your own work for the papers.

One of my favorite professors in UCSB. His subject matter is interesting and his analysis is eyeopening. He is also funny and makes class enjoyable even though it can be early in the morning. Highly recommend taking one of his classes before graduating

Great professor that really cares about students, he definitely round up to the highest grade and wants "his gauchos" to get As. Interesting and fun lectures, he tells good stories and makes jokes along the way! Take him, reading isn't necessary except for citing in your essays and movies are interesting enough.

He's the chillest teacher ever; he made the class interesting and is a very fair grader! He does take-home testspaper which is really nice.

Professor Akudinobi is really great! The material is somewhat difficult/kind of a stretch considering it is a class based on movies, but so far he has tried his best to make it easier to understand. He's very kind and lenient when it comes to being late. Great guy, hard class, but with enough attendance you should be fine.

I loved this class. Listen carefully to the lectures--just about everything he says has meaning that is not always easy to get. The media collection (in the library) has some of the films if you need to see them again. A hard subject, no doubt, but worth it, and Akudinobi is a very cool guy.
