I didn't have a great experience in this class, but I think a lot of the issues I had with it were informed by it being over Zoom during the height of on-campus restrictions. Prof. W (I can't enter her full name because apparently it's profane) clearly didn't like teaching from her home, and that came across in her lecturing style. She depended on breakout rooms for the majority of class time, popping in and out, and I found she had a habit of posing questions directly to myself or to classmates, then immediately leaving before we were able to respond, giving the impression that she didn't value our input. I was also dissatisfied with the quality of feedback on some of my assignments. On the whole, I don't think I got a fully fair shot at seeing Prof W's ability to teach. The material we worked with was great, and the zombie unit she incorporated was fun; it was a bad course to have online.

This class was simultaneously one of the most interesting and worst classes I've ever taken. Professor sucked out everything that interesting and exciting about the class, and really enjoyed flexing her intellectual muscles in a way that didn't give students time to breath. She reacts out-loud to comments so that it's very obvious when you've said something that she doesn't like, and she often misinterpreted my words so that she could correct me loudly. She cares more about testing if you've done the reading than making sure that you've understood it; she does a bad job of explaining, and has said class notes in her class are unreliable. Weird.

Race and Representation was a great class, and my first one going into freshman year of college. You can make it by without doing the readings, as there are many other sources of academic consumption such as videos and podcasts. She is not a good first year advisor.
