Professor is very kind and welcoming to students. Lectures are difficult to be engaged in because it is one single document with paragraphs. TA Miriam was horrible for this course, switching section structures and participation heavy in section. Easy grader however, and great GE course. Midterm paper and final paper (take home). Would take again.

He is very sweet and caring, often dismisses our class early and sometimes has it on Zoom. He does ramble a lot but seriously does care about his students and what he teaches. He says go gauchos a lot. I would highly recommend this class to anyone he just wants to talk to people

Prof Akudinobi is a very enthusiastic and knowledgable lecturer. He is very willing to give students feedback and advice on writing.

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

Can seem pretty daunting at first, but is a nice charismatic professor. Honestly didn't attend many lectures but the sections led by Miriam Burnett were great and super insightful, she's amazing. Be ready to do lots of reading and writing in this course but it's doable if you don't get behind.

I wish this class wasn't online this quarter (due to the fires and other reasons), but Dr. Akudinobi is an amazing professor. He does ramble in lecture, sometimes useful or just a story. He's hilarious and likes to joke. If you pay attention, skim readings, & do supplemental videos you'll do fine in this class. Only graded on final & midterm.

Don't bother taking if just for GE. Just rambles on for an hour for lecture, section is utterly useless and unless you get the good TA (Charlene) you're going to spend many hours on this class a week. Professor and TAs have no clue what they're talking about, this is just an abstract class with no rubrics or guidelines.

Professor Akudinobi is a sweet professor, however a lot of the time in lectures it is a bit hard to follow what's going on since there's no lecture slides and he sometimes sidetracks. Apart from that the readings aren't difficult and as long as you do them and go to section you'll be fine.

Very random lectures. Spends about 50% of lecture off topic. The TA's are really tough graders too (for no reason). For a GE, its definitely not worth it. It isn't hard material to learn, but it feels super random and disorganized. I do not recommend. I would steer clear unless you are ready to suck up to the TAs!

He's a great professor, but I wouldn't recommend him for anyone who isn't a decent writer.

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.
