Fall 2019 - Dr. Welty Tamai is a wonderful professor and lecturer. She is clearly passionate and enthusiastic about what she's teaching and truly wants everyone to succeed. The class entails a ton of outside reading, but the class itself wasn't difficult at all and was quite enjoyable. There are three essays (one smaller one and two longer ones) as well as discussion presentations, so it's a bit work-intensive at times (but completely doable!). If you need a social analysis GE or Writing II, definitely try to take this class.

Spring 2025 - professor tamai is really sweet and you can tell she cares a lot about what she's teaching, but i wouldn't recommend taking this class if you're not an AAS major and/or if you're not that interested in the topic. she assigns a lot of reading each week, you can probably get by if you skim them but it's still too much imo. no midterm or exams -- just a 6-8 page term paper (but she gives you plenty of time to do it) + a final that was set up the same as the paper, but you had 2-3 days to do it instead. honestly the paper and the final were what drained me the most, since you have to do the most work for them at the same time you would need to lock in for your other classes. attendance and participation also both matter. overall, not a bad class by any means, but definitely more than i thought it would be, and she can be a bit nit-picky about the assignments.
