Jerry Philogene

Professor Philogene is AMAZING. She is so passionate about what she teaches and loves getting to know her students. I genuinely loved coming to class every day because she was so enthusiastic and made such a fun classroom environment. That being said, she can be a hard grader but she genuinely helps you become a better writer in the process and is more than willing to talk through any edits with you. While I got a lower grade than I wanted, I didn't mind because I truly felt like I got so much out of the course and it was extremely rewarding.

Introduction to Black Studies with Professor Philogene is an experience I think everyone should have. She is extremely passionate, intelligent and funny, which makes this class much more enjoyable than the typical lecture. She cares deeply about each student and will accommodate your needs. She is flexible with her deadlines if there are extenuating circumstances. The content and discussions in her class are extremely thought-provoking. For the semester, we have three papers and a final presentation, which is essentially a playlist of songs that you think relate to the course. There is no final exam for this course. I recommend anyone with even an inkling of interest in Black Studies to take this course.

Professor Philogene was extremely passionate and knowledgeable about the novels. The toughest part of the class other than the readings is that there are 4 papers that are 4 pages each due throughout the semester. It is a very interesting class if you enjoy conversations about Caribbean authors and novels.
