Daniel Yoder Zipp HNUH218R Expecting an A Anonymous 04/30/2025	During syllabus week, I was highly considering dropping this course because the work load seemed kinda ridiculous. There's 4 Media Analysis Papers (MAPs), an OPED, and a Final Paper (all around 1000-1500 words). But Dr.Zipp is super lenient with all of these. Two of the MAPs get dropped from your grade meaning you only have to do the other two of them. He also provides all of the sources and a detailed topic for each MAP which saves you from having to find sources. You can also revise and resubmit the MAPs and the OPED after the due date to get half the points you lost back. A large chunk of the grade is also just quick participation surveys so that is free. Overall, the course content was really boring for me but Dr. Zipp is a nice and great professor which made it bearable. The course load really isnt that bad and he gives PLENTY of time for everything to be completed.

Class is pretty bad though, lots of jargon most people don't care for and very time consuming and uninteresting work. Lots of it is stacked onto eachother towards the end as other reviews have stated. Class definitely needs some heavy reworking. Prof Zipp is a great person though...the class don't recommend.
Daniel Yoder Zipp HNUH218R Expecting an A Anonymous 12/05/2024	Initially came in worried about the class considering so many words were being thrown around that I had no real idea what they meant. Fortunately, there are no actual assessments based directly off of the work done in class. The main chunk of the graded coursework was papers. There were four main papers we wrote that were related to the class content, but primarily based off of online research, all of which he graded fairly easily. 20% of the class grade is also daily participation, so just make sure to complete the exit ticket after each class and put some effort into the papers and you'll make it through just fine.

Daniel Yoder Zipp HNUH218R Expecting an A+ Anonymous 11/14/2024	This is my favorite class. The discussions are interesting, although sometimes the topics on the lesson plan are only talked about at the very end of class. I thought it was a lot like a world history class. Professor Zipp describes the class as an economics one that, unlike most economics classes, looks at race. The only real work is in several research papers and presentations, which are manageable if you start early. He's a little pretentious, but a fun professor. Highly recommend. At the very least, the class doesn't get boring.
