Best professor I've had, but be aware attendance is crucial, she doesn't post the lecture slides and those r literally everything you need besides the readings. The exams are the same, just remember specific examples for the mini essays. Other than that, I loved how passionate and genuine she was. She's an amazing professor, 1000% recommend :)

She is extremely passionate about her work, kind hearted, caring, enthusiastic, I LOVED her as a person but I intended to take this class as an easy GE and it was NOT!!! So much reading and she does not post lecture slides, and grading is very exam heavy. Only take this class if you are truly passionate about the subject, but not for an easy GE :)

Lectures are dense and missing a lecture could lead to missing important information. She does not post lecture slides. Reading is mandatory but she assigns around 40 pages per week which sometimes comprise entire test questions. Contextual understanding and specific examples from readings/notes are required to score well. TA's 20% is uncertain.

Content was interesting. Lots of assigned reading. Sections were VERY helpful. 80% of your grade is two in class essays (midterm and final) and they're pretty tough graders, but an A is achievable as long as you stay engaged with the readings and lectures. Slides aren't posted so you can't really skip, but it was worth going to!

I loved this class!! It's honestly fairly easy to do well in if you just go to lecture. I didn't do half of the readings, but only missed like two lectures and have an A. There aren't any assignments except reading and midterm/final, and one other event write up. Worst part is she doesn't post slides but she's a very engaging professor

She has great intentions but she is not the most clear professor. Lectures the entire class, will not provide her slides to students, and assignsunrealistic amounts of reading. Grade is based on Final (40%) and Midterm (40%). 3 essays, closed notes, based on reading/lectures, in person. Good class, but not an easy class for a GE or to get a A in.

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.

Unreal professor, she is highly well respected in the academic community and gives amazing lectures. Super sweet lady, very approachable and understanding. Gave great insight and actually recommended a book for my final paper I really enjoyed. definitely reccomend.

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.

If you don't like reading, don't take this class as there is tons of reading each week. Fujino was an overall good lecturer but her voice is pretty droning. Have knocked out in lecture a couple of times. Get a good TA and you'll do great. Also, don't take this as an "easy GE" because their grading criteria on midterm and final were pretty specific.

Pretty interesting class but there was sooo much reading. And she doesn't go over all of the readings in class, so you pretty much do have to read them all. She doesn't clearly lay out what is going to be on the exams and I really didn't know what to expect going into them.

Ok teacher. Decent class, except had high expectations for the midterm and final. There is also a big paper, even though the class doesn't give you writing credit. Lots of reading. Make sure you get a good TA. Explained most things well. If you go to class, and actually try you'll be fine. Only hard things were midterm and paper.

If you're at all interested in gender and sexuality then take this class! I took it for the ethnicity requirement and I am so glad I did. Prof. Fujino is very clear from what she expects of you and is very nice and approachable. The readings are posted on gauchospace and you should at least skim them for the midterm and final. Recommended!!

Absolutely loved this class. If you're at all interested in gender/sexuality/racism in history and the world today, TAKE THIS CLASS. Prof Fujino is very engaging and the readings were fairly interesting. Took it for the ethnicity requirement and walked away with a different outlook on the world. Loved it and loved her. Would take again.

What a horrible professor. The information she presented was boring and was inaccurate or could have been easily argued inaccurate. I CAN"T BELIEVE THEY MADE HER DEPARTMENT CHAIR. They has to be someone else who can adequately run the Asian American Department
