| This is a great course! I highly recommend this to any student that is even slightly curious about the African continent. You get to learn from a lot of different perspectives and the professor is great to talk to! The coursework is also very manageable since it's just one final essay and presentation + attendance. |
| Professor Ogene is one of the kindest professors I know. Definitely take his classes. You learn a lot about Africa in an extremely low–stress environment/workload :) |
| Don't just sit through class because it's easy; if you truly pay attention to the conversations had with the guest speakers you'll meet and even research the guest speakers in advance there is so much knowledge and experience you can gain insight into from engaging with them. |
| Definitely recommend this class especially if you are interested in African culture and you are looking for an easy going and interesting class. The only con is that the class is really long so sometimes it can get a bit boring but still heavily recommend the class. |
| This class is a chill class with a diverse exposure of topics. |
| Very interesting, positive academic experience. Relatively low workload, but you learn a great deal. The only thing is to meet with the professor because you won't receive feedback on anything throughout the semester– highly recommend! |
| Please please please take this course, it's actually a gem! Come into the class with an open–minded and willingness to learn about African culture and you will learn so much from the conversations with the guests. Also, Prof. Ogene is one of the kindest professors at this school, if not the kindest! |
| Prof Ogene is so kind, and this class is one of a kind. I really loved listening to incredible African artists speak about their life work. Absolutely amazing class |
| The class gives you a unique window into cultural production on the African continent. The class is very relaxed, and since your work outside of class is entirely focused on an independent research project, you get out what you put in. |
