This class is really interesting! Professor Hirabayashi is a great lecturer, I really enjoyed listening to the way many concepts of this class have applied to his own life. The class lacks of PP so if you are the kind of person that needs to have a PP to take notes, I suggest not to take this class. You don't have a specific book but rather weekly articles to read (THEIR CONTENT IS IMPORTANT FOR BOTH THE MIDTERM AND FINAL!) You also have to write 2 papers in topics related to the course (don't worry, they are not research papers and are fairly easy to write after doing some minor research) You also have to do a group presentation during discussion section. (EASY AS WELL) Though this class doesn't offer extra credit, you ready don't need it. If you pay attention during class, go to section, read the articles and revise the study guide you should be fine! As an Asian American myself this class is really interesting, it brings awareness of certain topics that are overlooked in the As American community. My final grade: A I think this class will be offered again during Spring 2016! Highly recommended!!

Professor Hirabayashi was a great professor. He is an Asian American himself, therefore incorporates his personal stories in his lectures, which makes his class more interesting. He is open to discussions and questions at all times. His exams consists of both multiple questions as well as short answers, which in my case was identification questions. For the multiple choice, he gives four options, and for the identification questions, we had to define and also write its significance in what we were studying.
