Professor Mullen tends to lean more toward a discussion based class versus lecture based. The course texts were incredibly interesting and very relevant to African American social justice, identity, and civil rights issues today. The books were to be read throughout the 10 weeks and then students would come to class, listen to the professor lecture for about half an hour, and then the rest of class would be a discussion on whichever questions students may have regarding the texts or the professor would throw some questions out.

The class is somewhat writing intensive in that it requires you to submit journal entries and the professor sometimes asks the class to write and reflect in class. However, it is an absolutely wonderful and very easy class. I definitely recommend!
