Summer 2020 - Professor Streeter is a great professor, she is very caring and helpful. She is not the best lecturer though but you can skip lecture and still have no problem getting an A (as long as you read the assigned books). There is a lot of reading but the course material itself is VERY INTERESTING and the class is fairly easy! - I AM SELLING PDF VERSION OF THE FOLLOWING BOOKS: -Lectures of Liberation (1 and 2) by Angel Davis -Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, by Frederick Douglass -Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl Written by Herself -Angela Davis An Autobiography -The Meaning of Freedom by Angela Davis SEND ME A QUICK EMAIL: *************

Winter 2021 - This is a great class and I recommend taking it. Dr. Alden is a good and clear lecturer, though he does talk a bit slowly sometimes. There is a lot of reading required for this class, but most of it is interesting, so it's not too much of a burden. We had to do weekly discussion posts (took maybe half an hour) and we had two midterms and a final. The exams were all take home exams with paragraph and short-essay length responses. Khyla Horton was my TA and she's great, so if you can take her section I recommend it. The discussions in this class aren't too structured, but they're quite interesting and it's an environment most people feel comfortable speaking in.
