I learned a lot from this class but I need to emphasize that it is not easy to get an A in, look at the DailyNexus grade search. I really recommend taking this class Pass/No Pass because the two exams where you write 3 short essays make up 80% of your grade and it is very difficult to get an A in especially since the TA's 20% is difficulttopredict.

Professor Fujino is very passionate about what she teaches and is amazing at teaching. I think the only thing I disliked was how exam heavy this class was, 80% of your grade is just exams and I just felt like that's poorly structured. Needless to say my TA Colin Sibley was amazing too and thanks to him I actually passed this class.

prof fujino is passionate and an expert in her field, i totally enjoyed the class but the midterm/final grading was unnecessarily tough and expects more than what the question asks (like you can read the TAs minds). generous reading amount and lectures are important. colin sibley was a great TA though! wish i took it pass/fail for GE

Professor Fujino gave very engaging and well-rounded lectures, always incorporated the overall themes into material. The exams were a bit complex and very detail-oriented, more than I had anticipated for a GE class. Readings are highly emphasized.

This professor and her materials are just OK and the grading easily makes AS AM 9 a class you DON'T wanna take. Everybody got a C to B-. Efforts were ridiculously ignored. Tons of reading every week. You have to discuss and present in section to actually get POINTs. Short essays for midterm and final compose 80% of the grade. Just DON'T.

Professor Fujino has to be one of my favorite professors. She is very passionate. Her lectures are full of information and she keeps it interesting. The class covers important material, but for the final and midterm she looks for specific details in the essays, so make sure you learn specifics.

Fujino is amazing and go to her office hours she is super helpful if you are looking for help in class or outside projects you want to work on with her. Lectures are very informative, learned a lot from this class. Tests were easy, but grading criteria was not clear between TAs. Attend lecture because she does not post slides!

Fujino is an amazing lecturer and you can tell that she genuinely cares about the material. This class was eye-opening and the material she assigned was interesting (although long to read). Really makes you work for an A, though. Heavy reading and requires a lot of critical thinking/analysis. Somehow, the class didn't feel like alot of work though.

Only good things to say! Fujino is an amazing professor with extensive background on the topics she discusses- Race & Resistance (asam9) was the best class I've taken & changed my perspective on the world. 2 short essays & midterm & final, studying is relatively easy if you go to lecture & engage in section. Katherine Lee is a great TA as well!

Race & Resistance is by far the most important class I've EVER taken @ ucsb. This class opened my eyes & changed my life. Professor Fujino is really passionate about the material & is the sweetest person on earth. Everyone I know who took this class said it was one of the best classes they've ever taken. PLEASE take this class, you won't regret it!

Her lectures are the most important! She assigns a ton of readings which are definitely interesting, but I didn't read most of them and still passed the class with an A-. Just need to skim them for section & rely on lecture material for the midterm and final.
