AAS 1020

Claudrena Harold is an amazing professor and im so glad I took this class. Pretty easy overall, Lots of reading assigned but you don't even need to do half of it to get an A. She send out all powerpoint slides and teaches you so much. She's hilarious, passionate and makes you passionate too. It helped me understand the black condition through American history a lot more, and she always makes it feel like a safe space of learning, unity and respect. TAKE THIS CLASS

I feel like the TAs sometimes show favoritism when grading the essays, so if you take the class get on their good side.

Professor Harold is an amazing lecturer and I always looked forward to class. She incorporates photography, film, music, text, personal anecdotes, and research perfectly throughout the semester. All of the assigned readings were worth doing and it pays off when you can incorporate them into your answers for essays. Grades came from about five quizzes and three test. Quizzes were easy if you went to lecture and took notes on the essential terms, it was formatted as fill in the blank. Test were a mixture of the essential terms once again and then an essay question that was provided beforehand. This class is worthwhile and one that you will want to put work into! One of my favorite courses from my first year.
