Shane Walsh AASP211 Expecting an A Anonymous 11/30/2023	TAKE TAKE TAKE this class for a gen ed or elective. EASY A!!!! It meets once a week for 2.5 hours but the entire time is watching a movie/videos and having a discussion. There were a couple quizzes online at home based on readings and two papers but they were only 1 page each and the quizzes weren't hard. You also get plenty of time to complete them. The final exam was just a powerpoint presentation where you pick any topic you want that was covered in class and make a presentation on it. You don't have to present it just do a voice recording that has to be 10 minutes long. There is also a participation grade that was basically breaking into small groups and you wrote ur name on a paper to show that you were there, but you don't know which class it'll be in so you need to go to them all. However, the classes were very interesting to hear them talk about different topics so you wouldn't want to skip anyways. TAKE THIS CLASS
Jason Nichols AASP211 Expecting an A Anonymous 05/26/2023	Taking this class with Jason Nichols and Shane Walsh was enjoyable. It felt more like an open discussion/podcast than a class most of the time. I do wish we ended up doing film reviews, but oh well. I really don't understand how Professor Nichols has this low of a rating, but maybe the experience in AASP211 was different than AASP100 and others. Otherwise, he's a really interesting guy and listening to him speak doesn't bore me like most other professors
Shane Walsh AASP211 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 08/23/2022	I took this class as an international student, which gave me a large amount of information about the segregation and inequality in the U.S from the Black people's side. Furthermore, the professor is extremely structured and well-formate with the lecture and flexible with the due date. I highly recommend this course and professor if you prefer to understand the social problem from another angle or fulfill the degree requirement with a meaningful A.
Shane Walsh AASP211 Expecting an A Anonymous 04/08/2022	I took this class with both Dr. Walsh and Dr. Nichols. They are both pretty chill and funny and Dr. Walsh is very intelligent and super passionate about this topic, so he likes to go off sometimes, but it still connects to the information. Between Dr. Walsh and Dr. Nichols, Dr. Walsh seemed a lot more professional and structured throughout the course. The class is super chill, it's an open dialogue where anybody can speak or because we had 100+ people on zoom this semester, you can get away with lurking and only listening. We watched the Get Out movie in this class and wrote two essays on it. However, the only other grades in the courses are 5 quizzes and 3 more essays which are not directly on the movie but rather, on race issues, and black history in general. It takes VERY long to get grades back, however, and there is little to no feedback on the essays throughout the course.
