Great teacher. Funny. Even though he retired after this quarter, I wanted to say that he was a great professor
Earl is a really unique dude. Go visit him in office hours and just talk with him. He loves people and he is a wonderful person to get to know. If you take the time to get to know him, he will not let you walk away with anything but an A and will make sure you succeed! He is a brilliant man with an unusual teaching style but has a lot to offer!
Best Black Studies class to take. Stewart is the best teacher and isn't concerned too much about grades, tests, etc. He wants his students to really enjoy black music in the same context that he does and focuses on that. Tests and quizzes are all super easy. He even tells you what is going to be on the tests. Class also always gets out early.
Way overrated on easiness unless you want a C, not much extra credit, no PP, talks way to fast to take notes, quizzes are HARD, & not the questions he asks in class, lecture is mandatory and so is book (must use to clarify lecture material) feel powerless: can't understand what he says in lecture and its not in the book
Very Easy pass or B but getting a A has more to do with luck. 50% of lecture is too poorly pronounced to be understood. No PPs, have to look up 50% of lecture in book to clarify. Seemingly unimportant lecture was on test but not in book. After 5 hrs of study don't bother cause it won't help grade, just hope your notes captured enough
Doesn't use powerpoints for his lectures, ends lecture really early every class. Gives you the questions for midterm and final. His lectures are kind of hard to understand and follow, but the class is REALLY easy and you don't need the book.
