Once you get the hang of the course , it is fine but it is a lot of work because of it being 7 weeks. It worked for me because then I could work on my finals for physics and bio. Really liked the art I had never thought about the relation of science and beauty. Good if you are willing to put in the time.

Comment:

In all of my years of education, literally since Kindergarten, I have never had a worse teacher. She responded to one of my emails, asking for an extension, with simply "ok." I also emailed her to ask her why she kept giving me bad grades with no feedback and she never replied. She is HORRIBLE. Please just don't take a class with her. Don't do it.

She will talk on and on and on about absolutely nothing. Honestly treats us like high schoolers. Makes no sense

This was a course I had to take and it was an odd group of people . Once we go to know eachother I learned a lot. We went to a play together . Teacher spent a lo of time with me outside of class to help me with my writing and because I was sick.

Lot's of small work so you have to be in class for the work. But very helpful outside of class. Took us to the art museum and to 2 plays . We had a lot of fun once the course got going.

Comment:

I took this in the Summer but had to drop for work took it during 7 weeks - Great class . Much more interesting than I expected. The art was often related to current events and I have been curious about the history of body art - henna - tattoo - guaging. Definitely stillr eading Plato and Nitezsche - it is philosophy but good stuff.

Opened up my eyes to the continent! I took this class as a requirement but loved the novels and films . It was a 7 week course so you had to be on top of things but every week is the same so after the 1st two weeks. Teacher got back to me immediately when I had family emergency and needed some flexibility.

Comment:

This class was 7 weeks online bit it opened up my mind to African cultures and arts. I knew nothing about Africa except a little about South Africa and Egypt . This course really opened my mind. Make sure you have time to devote to an intense course to see some great films and read interesting stuff.

Comment:

She lost our papers, and was unclear 1/2 the time. Though at times she was ok, but overall she kept getting frustrated at us. Never gave enough time on the quizzes and expected us to know the dense reading material. Not very fond of her teaching style.

She is a disorganized messed with unclear assignments. Her expectations change daily and she never responds to emails. I would avoid her at all costs unless you like to be in a world of pain and confusion. I will never take a class with her again.

This was a demanding course but realy interesting. Esp liked weeek about tattooing. I liked the discusssions and the materials but would have rather taken it in person. The course is offered in-person and when I went to that class I liked it more.

A passion for the subject, people, and cultures always apparent. Can be a bit confused syllabus-wise, but is very understanding and forgiving when students get confused. Gives plenty of opportunities for make-up or extra credit work, she just wants people to discuss and think.

This was a really challenging class. In the beginning I was confused about why we needed to study the Kenyan history but I got it when it was connected to why people immagrate. Loved the lawyers perspectives and TRC.
