Fall 2023 - Professor Masuoka is certainly knowledgeable and passionate about racial politics. The biggest issue with the class is the lack of rubric and structure. The professor and TA didn't exactly specify what they were looking for in terms of the midterm so a lot of people got lower grades, iirc the average was around a low 80%. However they definitely gave us more support for the final paper and the final exam, I went to office hours and the TAs were really helpful. I think the final paper and exam averages were around a 90-95%, so that helped bring up the overall grade for most everyone after the low midterm grades.
