This instructor has very poor teaching skills and is highly unorganized. Take this course if you like being confused and watching someone try to figure out how to use a projector for the first thirty minutes of every lecture.
Jude is really passionate about the subject and his upbeat character always put a smile on my face. Pretty easy to get a good grade too as long as you spend the time to develop your essays. However, it was often difficult to follow his lectures (no powerpoints/rambles on) so be sure to read the textbook before going to class.
Jude is the man. Easy class, heart-warming accent, passionate about the material covered. I love that he calls his students "gauchos"
This class is a joke. He is very disorganized and is never on time to class. The book is hard to understand and makes no sense. You watch movies that have nothing to do with the class. If you do take this class, which I don't recommend, get Leonard McMahon as a TA. He is awesome. Easy grader and lets you out early.
This professor has poor teaching skills and his class is a joke. He is incredibly unorganized and rambles too much. He truly wastes class time and doesn't even give you a real syllabus.
He was incredibly nice and really wanted to help students, but he couldn't structure a lecture to save his life. Most students were lost; we could have learned so much more if he could keep a train of thought. Reading was easy, but he was very unclear and too academic. I do not recommend him unless you have a background in history or polisci.
Jude is a really cool, funny guy, but lecture is just really boring. I fall asleep most of the time through both his lectures and movies. Easy class though, and my TA (Christi) was really good.
This class is really boring! you can't understand the professor at all. i usually doodle in this class when he's talking. the movies are good, but some dont make sense. just go to section every week and do the midterm/final study guide and you'll get an A.
Awesome Guy!!! Very friendly and easy going. He'll help you out if you just ask. I got an A just by attending every lecture and discussion and taking excellent notes. The reading isnt too bad either. He has a Nigerian accent and calls everyone Gauchos...
he is so annoying because he constantly calls the class Gauchos and says,"hello, Gauchos" everytime no one answers his questions. He must say that phrase like 50 times during one class session. But i must admit, his class isnt very hard
He is an excellent teacher. Student focused. Very knowledgeable about his stuff. Very helful to students, finds and recommends good resources. Very patient and cool. He is a perfect gentleman.Wants other to succeed. God bless you, Sir!
he's a nice guy. But dont ask for a letter of rec. He may not get back to you. Class is interesting though. Try a little harder and you'll get an A.
I LOVE JUDE!!He is sooo, sooo sweet =) Really talk to the people around you in the class and try to get the best TAs, they will help you a lot; READ THE ASSIGNED CHAPs B4 CLASS! He IS unstructured and hard to understand, so put in a little effort, sit close, read on time, and you'll EASILY get AN A!

I love this class. I thought it was fun. It IS a little difficult to understand sometimes, but it was honestly my favorite class that quarter.
What a ****in doosh. His lecture is unstructured and he seems lost most of the time. Also, videos don't tie into the class very much
easy class if you get along with your TA, study guides and lots of hints for the tests make them real easy
the professor is very caring and wants you to do well. he is very passionate, and makes it easy to do well on the tests; however, the TAs can completely eff you over, so talk to them about certain criteria. not much work at all. he has a realllly strong accent that makes him hard to understand.
Class is super fun and easy. He makes sure you are prepared for the final by practicaaly giving it to you. His accent is a little hard to understand at times but he's from Nigeria! He has the best knowledge of Africa based on first hand experience! I'd take another class under him.
This class was amazingly easy and interesting!Section and class are valued the same as midterm and final so GO to them. He incorporates film which is a break from just lectures and is very understanding. Plus he's from Nigeria so you can be sure he knows what he's talking about. I loved every second
really good class, watch movies from Africa, and he gives you a study guide for the midterm and final
absolutely terrible, can't believe I pay thousands of dollars for professors like this. Totally unclear...class is a total joke, and not in a funny way
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
He's a great professor, but I wouldn't recommend him for anyone who isn't a decent writer.
