Chauncey Dennie AASP298L Expecting an A poodlepuff 09/04/2023	Chill professor, Slightly boring literature, Great Discussions, Reasonable Assignments. He didn’t really care about attendance or being nitpicky with assignment criteria which I found awesome! Our class discussions were very entertaining and you sign up for a presentation slot to present a specific part in the book the class reads. But you also have to participate in class debate with other groups who ask you questions about the novel. And a course playlist and a few papers at most. But this class was fair! It wasn’t the most interesting class out there for me personally because of the literature. And also, this was a last-minute decision class. But this professor was really nice so I’m all for it.
Tyra Griffin AASP298L Expecting an A+ Anonymous 05/15/2023	Tyra is a Super enjoyable professor and was a pleasure to work with. Her class discussions are the most interesting parts of the class and will leave you with something to think about/consider for days. She is always easy to work with and does not want to make anything too complicated. I'm happy to say I actually learned quite a bit during her class and challenged myself She's great, please don't stress her out!! :-D
Alexandria Nunn AASP298L Expecting an A+ Anonymous 04/25/2022	I think professor Nunn was a great professor. I took her class the first semester of my freshman year. There are a shit ton of readings but you don't actually need to do them, I would always look up summaries for the weekly discuss boards. Don't be afraid to participate in class, the more you get your voice out there the better. Work load is pretty large but you know about all the assignments from the first day so are long as you plan things out you will be fine. Professor Nunn really cares about her students, has a profound knowledge of this class and is funny. From a major procrastinator, this class is very doable

Elizabeth Catchmark AASP298L Expecting an A Anonymous 11/30/2020	This course in general has a lot of reading, but she is very good at giving a lot of good discussion time and being very flexible with due dates (She literally said that if one of her papers was due on a day you had a lot of stuff for other classes, she would let you get an extension for her class) Very informative and knowledgeable. She gives a lot of discussion boards, projects, and mini-papers, which usually help to build up ideas for bigger projects and pad your grade as long as you put in a little effort. Her main focus is on studying literature that shows the medical system's disparities and talking about fear of black groups for holding leftist ideologies (I.E Black Panthers, Socialist groups), but she covers a lot of other socio-cultural topics (LGBTQ topics, HIV crisis among black men, Black Women's issues, Failures of "white" feminism, etc.)
Mary Washington AASP298L Expecting a B+ Anonymous 06/20/2011	So, let me start off with the positive. The professor is very passionate about what she is teaching and I can honestly say that the material and readings were interesting. However, this is not an easy A. I got a B+ in the class. Granted, I didn't read half of the books, but even when I did read, the quizzes were very difficult. Also, the final is cumulative and it's like impossible to remember everything that happened in every story that we read over the course of the semester. And yes, this is a literature class, so there was a lot of assigned reading. But to end on a good note, the stories that I did read, I highly enjoyed.
Mary Washington AASP298L Expecting a B anonymous11 05/24/2011	I got an A- in this class, and it was not easy. MaryHelen reviews books online, her material is hard. the final is almost impossible, quizzes annoying. Papers do able. Try to get anna steed as your TA, she is the best ive come to realize that at the end.
Zita Nunes AASP298L Expecting an A Anonymous 05/05/2009	so easy its ridiculous. 2 quizzes a week, interesting reading if you like to read, lectures get way boring as time goes on all TAs are good it seems but the best is STEED. discussion is always good B on midterm and A on first paper, haven't gotten second paper grade
Zita Nunes AASP298L Expecting a B Anonymous 12/11/2008	Interesting class, and the professor is extremely knowledgeable on the subject matter. The quizzes are easy if you do the reading, but there is A LOT of reading. Two papers are assigned throughout the semester, and the grading is pretty tough. Quizzes are given in the first 5 minutes, so you cannot be late, and if you are you get a zero. She drops the two lowest quiz grades.
