This is the only class I've ever had where the professor had us listen to casettes on two different occasions, it was awesome. He is very funny and engaging, and his personal anecdotes about being in SEA and his experiences add a lot.Rate My Professors ↗
Great professor! I was in the honors only section and he is really fun and passionate about the subject. The class itself is kinda dense because it covers a number of things over a pretty long period of time, but it's a reasonable amount of work for 4 credits and it's made interesting.Rate My Professors ↗
Really knows his stuff and is funny. Cares about the topics. Fast and dense lecturesRate My Professors ↗
If this is an ethnic course, do not take this course! Rubrics were unclear, and no point in showing up for lectures since he reads off the slideshow!Rate My Professors ↗
he's a really funny and engaging lecturer, but it is very lecture heavy. there's a ton of readings to do every night, but honestly not mandatory since there's no quizzes so they're mostly extra information to know. there's no tests (actually one canvas test, but it's more like if you pay attention then you'll get it) and two essays.Rate My Professors ↗
Michael is such a funny professor—one of the most interesting lecturers I've had. Attendance policy only for discussion. He also posts the lecture slides on Canvas. For lecture, he usually just goes over the slides in class, but also adds extra information. Readings are necessary for exams, but can just pull quotes for exams, which are take home.
