AFRICAN 203
Quality 5/5Difficulty 1/5
I took this class over the summer, and I would recommend everyone to take Tobi if he teaches this again. Class was online and very easy as we only had to read 3 books, do daily discussion posts, weekly journal entries, and then do a research essay about a topic of your choice that pertained to African immigration and struggle.
