This class was a pretty easy A though as long as you show up, participate, and read the books you should be fine. If you're worried about anything, hes pretty accessible during office hours.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/1788042","quality_rating":4.0,"difficulty_rating":3.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:54:33.457978+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTMyNjA0NjQ2","source_instructor_id":"rmp:1788042","instructor_name":"Anthony Black","course_label":"AFROAMER227","course_id":"AFROAMER 227","course_uid":"course_87ccc163f848f404a40288e8","review_date":"2019-12-11 04:22:40 +0000 UTC","comment":"Anthony was such a great professor to have. I really do not like to read but he made lecture really enjoyable and himself very relatable to all of us. He always emphasized that he was on our side and would push due dates if we needed it.

It was mainly discussions about the book we read before coming in so it felt more like a forum than a class. It was super engaging and I enjoyed the conversations my peers and I had. There is definitely a lot of reading, but staying on top of it from the start helps a ton.

She expects 1/4th to 1/2th a book read per class and isn't afraid to call you out by name. I got anxiety walking in the classroom even when I had done the reading. A few of the novels selected were excellent, but the class as a whole was a bad experience.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/575986","quality_rating":1.0,"difficulty_rating":4.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:07:31.672171+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTI1ODk2NDQ3","source_instructor_id":"rmp:575986","instructor_name":"Sandra Adell","course_label":"AFROAMER227","course_id":"AFROAMER 227","course_uid":"course_87ccc163f848f404a40288e8","review_date":"2016-01-07 14:28:41 +0000 UTC","comment":"Professor Adell was an inspiring teacher. She changed my perspective on a lot of issues and made our African American history real, not just something we read in a textbook. You do read a book a week, but they are usually short.

She didn't give back the first assignment until after we turned in the second one, so we had no reference. She cancelled the final, which was good and bad. Less work, but less of a chance to improve grades. Really loves theater and gets off-topic about it. Very smart, but rather pretentious.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/575986","quality_rating":2.0,"difficulty_rating":5.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:07:31.672171+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTI0ODE5ODM4","source_instructor_id":"rmp:575986","instructor_name":"Sandra Adell","course_label":"AFROAMER227","course_id":"AFROAMER 227","course_uid":"course_87ccc163f848f404a40288e8","review_date":"2015-05-13 14:44:53 +0000 UTC","comment":"Easiest class, take this class to get your ethnic studies requirement out of the way and get your GPA up.
