For one, your final grade is not shown on canvas until it shows up on your transcript. Your participation grade is heavily based on if the professor likes you, so if you want an A, go to his office hours. I was not aware of this since it was not mentioned in the syllabus, and it was the one factor that dropped me to an AB.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/1281957","quality_rating":1.0,"difficulty_rating":4.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:57:45.079926+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTQxMzE4ODQ5","source_instructor_id":"rmp:1281957","instructor_name":"Adam Kern","course_label":"ASIAN100","course_id":"ASIAN 100","course_uid":"course_e6a0424a53300e9def13c966","review_date":"2025-05-19 02:09:46 +0000 UTC","comment":"Prof. Kern was okay. This was a guest lecturer class though so he really didn't actually lecture much. The format was okay, but during this session he was unable to any of the lecturers in person, understandable but sad. When he did lecture he seemed knowledgeable. He also really loves to play devils advocate when people participate in class.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/1281957","quality_rating":3.0,"difficulty_rating":1.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:57:45.079926+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTQxMDE5Mzk3","source_instructor_id":"rmp:1281957","instructor_name":"Adam Kern","course_label":"ASIAN100","course_id":"ASIAN 100","course_uid":"course_e6a0424a53300e9def13c966","review_date":"2025-04-23 19:21:44 +0000 UTC","comment":"I would rather be tied to the back of the 80 and dragged across campus than attend this lecture taught by a white man who doesn't understand privilege. craziest superiority complex. says the field would improve if all the text was written by him. yeah and maybe if I taught this class, everyone's will to attend this god awful class would improve.

Upwards of 600 pages in a week at times. But overall an interesting experience and an easy class. The professor himself is kind of an oddball.

That makes up 60% of your grade and attendance is 40%. It's all manga, but there is just way too much reading. I read one of them the entire course and still aced the quizzes.

She knows what she is teaching and handles uncomfortable topics in some books with dignity, understanding and respect. Her lectures are extremely engaging and informative and will grab your attention if you are in class.

The presentation responses are tedious but manageable and the group project isn't too much work. The lectures are pretty abstract and she can get sidetracked but she is really enthusiastic and passionate about the course material. Super nice and accessible to students.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/460505","quality_rating":4.0,"difficulty_rating":2.0}]
