Waithera Roki

This course was amazing. It was so chill and Dr. Waithera really cares about her students. She constantly reiterated she didn't want her students to be anxious, so she would adapt so that all her students do well in the course. This course fulfills many requirements and I definitely recommend taking it.

Dr.Waithera is very passionate when teaching Swahili and African culture. I will say that we went extremely fast when covering material, specifically when we went through our textbook. Most of the time we simply glossed over the pages, so be ready to go over the material again after class if you really want to grasp the material. I really enjoyed the part of the class where we learned more about the cultural aspects of Africa. As a class, we presented on all the countries. The exams are a bit heavy, but manageable. We also had to attend language tables twice a week which wasn't bad.
