Profe is the most passionate professor that I have ever had. His lectures are fiery and very memorable. With that being said, PAY ATTENTION to everything he says in class and take notes. This is not an easy class to skip; he will simply say test content, which is not always in writing. Readings are heavy but very good. Overall, great class.Rate My Professors ↗
This is my favorite profe I've ever had throughout my whole time in college. There were a lot of readings, but they were overall manageable. He gave great feedback and was super open to different things going on in students' lives. I would 100% take a class by him again.Rate My Professors ↗
Profe was an amazing lecturer and always brought lots of energy to class. You can tell that he is super passionate about the subject, and class material was very interesting. All in-class essays - both the midterms and final - were open note. So make sure you either take notes from reading or in lecture.Rate My Professors ↗
One of the best professors I've had. Super engaging and really wants you to learn and get something out of his class. For class you have: one final paper (which you work on the whole semester), group discussions, and readings. Come prepared, do the readings, and go to office hours if you're struggling.Rate My Professors ↗
He was very passionate about the subject matter and made it clear he cared about our success. The exams weren't hard and the essays were fine. I learned a lot about the Caribbean and would recommend him to anyone looking to expand their knowledge of other cultures.Rate My Professors ↗
I loved this professor. Whenever I had a question he was very willing and available to answer. He is very obviously knowledgeable in his subject. He spent a lot of the course making mini-assignments that led up to the final paper at the end, which was very helpful. The class was discussion based with a lot of readings but was still very manageableRate My Professors ↗
