This class was really easy. The textbook isnt really necessary (only to take citations from). Just be good at lecture memorization and you should ace the multiple choice exams. Apart from that, the class is super insightful, and has real -world applications. Discussion is kind of useless, and written assignments are easy but time-consuming.Rate My Professors ↗

This class makes you think critically of how race plays of role in your life. It's a great class to understand the concept of race and how it came to be. Reading the textbook helps a lot because she doesn't post up lecture slides and has lots of information per slide. Homework assignments are doable but citing sources is crucial.Rate My Professors ↗

As a teacher, she's good. As a person she's not. Doesn't care about her students and that they get the most out of the class. Very unfair grading.Rate My Professors ↗

Jenn was very sweet and engaging. No textbook--just take notes on the lecture slides and have an easy time with the exams. Her presentations were very organized and statistics were explained well.Rate My Professors ↗

I came into this class not expecting much, but I really enjoyed Jenn's class. It is a low time commitment class that is interesting if you pay attention. Tests are easy, and there are only four homework assignments throughout the semester.Rate My Professors ↗
