Really chill professor and this class honestly taught me a lot I wasn't expecting to learn. Everything is done in groups and the work isn't difficult. He has weekly quizzes kahoot style but aren't bad. I think the topics in this class are incredibly important to learn and interesting overall. |

Taking this class as a freshman connection student. We have classes once a week and it's been a month now. So far it's been good. I took this class expecting to learn about cultures and trends in America over time, but what we're actually learning is really different (ideologies and power systems but whatever). There's a LOT of readings and the articles are written in really academic styles. There are also occasional writing assignments (2 so far) and they're kind of confusing but it's manageable. He is really optimistic and lenient about things if you just let him know. There are no worksheet assignments yet and a lot of the scores come from reading annotations. Stay on his good side and you'll have a good year. I'll update again at the end of the semester. |

Nice, funny guy who's really smart and pretty flexible with stuff like due dates and deadlines. Clearly really invested in and enthusiastic about the material. Lots of reading and writing, but not hard to leave with a high grade if you keep up with everything. No in-class exams. |

I signed up for American Pop Culture to examine our culture's influence on the processes of media production and consumption (copied from the syllabus). The class started out in this way but quickly turned into propaganda for the leftist's point of view. The topic of race was politicized and we entered discussions on topics that were unrelated to the course material, such as social media censorship. This class should be called political science or race studies, not pop culture. We could have spent more time learning about music and the arts, thigs that are a part of mass culture compared to focusing on issues that divide us. Thankfully, this class was very easy so I am glad that I can take my A and leave. |
