AFRO AM 6 Review
Professor Streeter is one of the most excellent professors I have had at UCLA thus far. She is honest with her students and unapologetic about recognizing contemporary racism. She is one of the only professors at UCLA who teaches with an intersectional frame work. Unlike other courses that focus on either race or gender, Streeter successfully incorporates both. Her course challenges you to read some of the most influential American literature in, including work by Angela Davis and W.E.B Dubois. The course strengthened my understanding of American history, racial politics, and the black experience in the U.S. I would highly recommend this course to any student because it offers a view of American history and a selection of American literature that is often hidden or overlooked.

This is not one of those courses when you can just skim a few articles and books, memorize the information and regurgitate on a written exam. Professor Streeter and her amazing T.A.'s challenge students to think for themselves all the while think through the lens of prominent Black intellectuals such as Ida B. Wells, James Baldwin, Frederick Douglass and W.E.B. DuBois. Professor Streeter knows wants her students to be able to think critically about topics discussed in the course, all the while keeping an open mind to the Black experience in the past, present and future. While some students are not used to this method of teaching, most students appreciate her style of teaching as authentic and intellectually ascending.
Since she challenges students to exercise their critical thinking skills (unlike most professors on campus), she does not impose too much of course load on her students. Her understanding and caring nature prove that. Professor Streeter is an excellent educator who holds a beacon of wisdom and knowledge that exudes throughout her teaching skills. As one of her students, I appreciated her candid and forthright teachings as well as her humble, kind-hearted and warm spirit. Being one of her students was a sheer privilege and wonderful experience because she brings us back down to reality.
Overall Rating: 10/10.
Afro-Am 6
It's amazing how two students can have two very different experiences while taking the same class. That’s definitely the case between me and one of the posts below in regards to Afro-Am 6 and Professor Streeter. Professor Streeter repeatedly stated throughout the Quarter that if you come to class/sections and read the books, you “will be fine.” I took the class with a couple of friends and everyone who did just that was fine. And when I say “fine”, I mean we all got an A. Four (3-question) quizzes in section and two essays (midterm and final). I’m not sure what more anyone can want from a GE.
In regards to lectures, Professor Streeter clearly presented the themes of each book and the historical context we as students should think about when reading the texts. Unfortunately, the majority of the class didn’t read the texts. In that respect, I can understand why some students may have been “confused, irritated, and/or uninterested.” In Afro-Am 6, Professor Streeter introduces Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington, W.E.B. Du Bois, James Baldwin, Ida B. Wells, and Angela Davis. How can you have discussions about these writers and not be interested? At times, I did have questions about Dr. Streeter’s lectures, but when I did, she was always available for office hours.
In general I try not to let Bruinwalk make the final decision when I’m picking classes, but let’s be honest, if you’re reading this, my opinion and the opinions below will make a difference. If you’re a UCLA student (which should mean a lot to you) and you take an African American class taught by an African American Doctor, you should listen to what she says and just enjoy the class. For a little bit of work, you will walk away with a lifetime of knowledge and an "A".
Afro-Am 6:
Streeter is has the most discombobulated teaching style I have ever experienced. The cirriculum of the class is not hard at all, however, the way she struggles to deliver the material makes the entire class confused and so irritated that we all become uninterested. I invited my mother to class one day so she could experience my weekly struggle of sitting through her lectures. Mind you, my mother has been in education for over 25 years. Needless to say, all my mother was able to say was: "owe, I am glad that you are on scholarship, I could never pay for that class". I struggle with knowing what exactly she wants on exams due to her scattered grading. No worries, she says that we should trust her judgment as our professor. Yeah Right!! I need a rubric in order to determine what will receive an A and what will not. I do not recommend that you take Afro-Am 6 if she is teaching it at UCLA.
