Fall 2018 - Lectures were all straightforward and well-structured !!! Professor and the guest speakers knew their stuff and were truly awesome! However, don't choose Nina as your TA because she was not helpful or useful whatsoever, and it seemed like she was intentionally avoiding me and my Asian study buddy throughout the entire quarter! Be prepared to feel stupid when you finally see the efforts you put in this interesting diversity class turn out to be a shitty grade without any reason. I hate to say this but THE RACIAL, GENDER WAGE GAPS IN THE U.S. SHOULDN'T ENTITLE ANYONE TO DISCRIMINATE AGAINST INNOCENT AISAN STUDENTS IN ACADEMIA!

Fall 2021 - I loved this class! An extremely fun and easy GE. Professor Wong and Valenzuela are awesome and have done so much for the social justice movement, so it's such a privilege to learn from them as well as the other speakers they bring in for the lectures. The lectures are so relevant and I felt like I learned a lot from this class. Your grade is based on two papers (which are easy to do), a participation grade in your discussion, and a multiple-choice final. As long as you have an interest in the topic and pay attention in lectures, you'll ace the class.
