Winter 2024 - I had little knowledge on African history, but this class was really interesting! The grade consists of 2 research papers, a group presentation, and quizzes. Professor Odinga's lectures are very engaging, and he is very clear on his expectations. He is a genuinely good human being who is always willing to help!
