Sangeetha Madhavan AASP400 Expecting a B NobodyKnows 01/28/2009	I am shocked to see such low reviews, but not too shocked as Prof Madhavan isn't any easy professor. She is really nice if you come to class and do your work. To me she was not all that hard, we had a short paper every other week. I didn't think she played favorites, but come to think of it she did show attitude to a student that was always late and disagreed with her a lot. She encourages you to think harder and more critically. I just did exactly what was on the syllabus and got an A on most the papers. The students each taught 2 classes each so it was hardly boring, mostly discussion, although some people may not like the heavy African reading (vs AfricanAmerican), and they are not books that you'd be familiar with, like the other profs who do AASP400or402 do. Still, good reading. She does that b/c she clearly loves Africa. Don't take the class if you aren't going to work a little. Not an easy A but you definitely within reach, and will get a new perspective on Africa and gain a lot of knowledge. I would be getting an A but I screwed up something in the end. Luckily I could care less about grades.
