Fall 2024 - This class was frustrating at first but ended up okay. Your grade will 100% will depend on your TA. Class consisted of in person lectures monday, async lectures wednesday, and your respective discussion section. Grade was based on 25% section participation, 25% creative project, 25% "Quiz 1", and 25% "Quiz 2 Essay". Section participation was decided upon by your TA- mine did weekly groups in discussion where you would spend a few minutes collecting notes and turned them in- very easy if you show up. Creative project was part creative project and part short essay- easy if you have a kind TA. Quiz #2 ended up being a short essay which was graded by your TA, but quiz 1 was INSANE. It consisted of 5 MCQ and 15 (FIFTEEN) short answer questions where you had to site one of the readings of lectures in each one and provide significant analysis for your answer. This means fifteen 200ish word answers with evidence you had to find on the spot which was extremely time consuming and taxing (took students about 5-6 hours on average) and you essentially had to do it in one sitting. Ended up being a chill class even though that quiz was insane, cool subject but the prof. is definitely a bit extreme with pushing her own material and ideas through the class but it was cool to learn about as a whole.

Fall 2024 - Sorry this review is just gonna be a rant about how much I love Gaye Theresa Johnson. This woman is so goated. She's such a caring, educated, and cool professor. She turned this class into a safe space post-election and offered so many resources for undocumented students. She truly is a legend. The class itself was also an amazing class. Relevant subject matter and pretty fair tests. My one complaint is that the midterm was 15 short answer questions that took most of the class HOURS to complete (I literally spent 5 hours on it). But it was a take home test at least, and Professor Johnson seemed to realize it was too long so it was probably a one time thing. The rest of your grade comes from two other papers as well as discussion participation, all of which I thought were graded fairly. Overall, I would take again 1000/10
