Comment:
Prof. Mani is excellent. I think I really improved my writing and ability to do close reading. She's a difficult grader. Her Nation and Migration class wasn't strictly English; it often touched on things like cultural identity. Readings were OK; I thought they got worse as the semester went on.

Extremely thoughtful and brilliant professor teaching really great courses! The actual pedagogy itself could use some work but if you are into the stuff she teaches, you will not regret taking her classes -- she is wonderful and so very intelligent and innovative.

Comment:
Mani's very nice and very likable, and I'm glad I took her class. But I don't think I learned much about the experience of immigrants, or the broader issues of culture and race. It might have been a good intro to post-colonial thought, but only if post-colonialism isn't very well formulated.

AMAZING reading list. the discussions were generally good. mani was sometimes difficult to understand, mostly because she's just so brilliant.
