he was awesome. fun and upbeat. keeps it as interesting as it can. not a hard class. get a good TA
Passes a sign in sheet around lecture every day so attendance is mandatory. Your grade was 33% attendance, 33% midterm, and 33% final. The midterm and final were just a bunch of writing (3 papers each) but the grading was fair and I got an easy A in the class. Lectures are hard to follow as he jumps all over the place but I loved the textbook.
His classes are NOT as easy as some of the reviews here make them out to be. Attendance is mandatory, with role taken in section and lecture. Some pretty big writing assignments, but doesn't fulfill a writing GE. It really doesn't fulfill any GEs that cant be found in a better class. Please, take another class. You'll regret taking this one.
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"
Rambles for lecture. Doesn't give out As, but doesn't grade hard. So if you don't care to get an A take the class. But if you need an A this class isn't for you.
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.
Disorganized, shows films in class, no lecture. Book requires a thesaurus and dictionary to decipher-he contributed to the book. Take home essay/tests that were HARD because they were straight out of the incomprehensible book. Great TA though. Could have been a great class if it was actually taught.
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.
Great professor, OK class. Attendance was mandatory and counted for about 20% of the overall grade. He gave us a take home midterm and a take home final along with one term paper. It seems like he will give you at least a B+ if you tried. Great professor, sometimes hard to understand. He has an amazing vocabulary and is pretty interesting.
He is very funny in class. He is very easy and you cant literally talk your way out of most anything. Midterms and Finals were take home for 7 days a piece. Take him as a GPA booster
lectures are unstructured but the reading itself is interesting. be sure you're able to write strong opinions demoting white society. office hours are equally confusing and unstructured but if there for a chat, he is so knowledgeable. definitely one of the most interesting professors here. would recommend only for strong writers.
Very unclear and unorganized. Cool guy though. Helpful in office hourse.

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...
A nice guy, but the class I took was poorly constructed and he was very unclear. I also never received my research paper back, so I'll never know if he even read it.
amazing, amazing professor.
Akudinobi was very interesting and is very personable. I enjoyed our thoughtful and sometimes extremely lengthy class discussions. Plus, I found his calling us "Guachos" pretty funny.
