I would not take any class taught by this professor

most awful person I've ever met

This person is incredibly inappropriate. Rude to WOC. Inappropriate behavior and language. Please beware.

Clearly a passionate professor, but severely lacked work ethic. I loved his passion which is the reason he is rated a 2 and not a 1, and his lecture slides were cool, but since it was his first time teaching the course he made the Midterm unreasonably difficult, and the final was unreasonably easy. I got through the class without reading barely

Lots of reading about 1 book/week. Lectures do not directly explain the readings, they instead give you real life examples, without explicitly stating it—if you dont read you wont do well.Not too harsh with grades, participation is a decent %. If you dont want to read in full extract key theories from books and really pay attention to lectures

Professor Parker is a tough teacher, but his tactic is to scare the students to make sure they put in the effort. There were a ton of curve balls in this class, but I learned a lot. If you want a challenge and are passionate about learning about the social movements that affect our society, then he is the guy.
