She is such an amazing professor. Very lenient and offers multiple opportunities to pass this course. Utilizes a grading contract in which as long as you complete the assignment it counts towards your grade. Complete the research journal for that easy A (just a weekly reflection). She is very kind, clear, and supportive. I had no previous knowledge about this course; however, it was extremely interesting as we explored different aspects of media and its significance to academia (we even explored Kendrick Lamar and Beyonce ahaha).

I love this class! It was centered on hip hop and that's what our essays and readings were about. I learned so much from this class and would highly recommend it if you have not satisfied the entry-level writing requirement. It's an easy A. Dr. Newby is also great when she would explain the assignments.

Classes are very long and sometimes hard to get through, but the topic is interesting. I have been exposed to a lot of information that I did not know before. I recommend taking this class if you want to learn more about hip-hop and race relations. It talks about music as if it were a culture and it is very choice-oriented.

Professor Newby is great! The readings were super interesting. We had a grading contract so we were able to focus more on improving our writing. I felt like I gained a broad perspective on feminism and hip-hop culture.

Love this class! When I first took her class she was new professor at UCLA! She's a very chill and layback professor and the entire class bonded so well! She's super helpful when it comes to papers and I really learned a lot in terms of writing college papers.

I highly highly highly recommend taking her class, she's super awesome!
