I enjoyed the course because I learned a lot about black history through games, which I did not know I could do. She makes it engaging for students to talk in small group discussions. There was not a lot of homework and there is only one big assignment at the end of the semester where you present a board game you learned about. Overall, I would definitely recommend this course if you intend on majoring in Black Studies or want a fun class.

Viola is truly a wholesome professor! I learned a great deal in Black German History and personally found the course super interesting. Definitely one of the best black studies course. A discussion heavy class, no exams, readings every class, one final project.
Overall, this class has a very manageable workload. There are readings and sometimes films to watch every week, but they are not too long. Professor Huang often asks for student feedback about workload and due dates. She is very flexible about extensions as well.
