I recommend this class if you want to learn more about African history, East Africa in particular. The professor has engaging lectures. The class has weekly quizzes based on the readings, a short answer midterm, a group project, and a final paper. Your attendance and participation is graded. I found the professor to be fair, caring, and knowledgable. She appreciates students who show in interest in the subject. My only suggestion is I think the amount of assigned reading could be lowered slightly. I recommend taking her classes, the readings are contemporary, and she connects the history to current events.
