| You should take this course if you are interested in Africa. The professor is a fair and kind instructor. The assignments are not too bad if you do not procrastinate. I would encourage you to engage in conversations and read the course material. You get what you put in. |
| Dear future students, As someone who enjoyed this course, I strongly recommend you to take it to challenge and expand your knowledge about Africa especially in the 20th century. This course is an open and safe space to discuss Africa as an African, non–African, and scholars interested in Africa(culture, history, thoughts etc). |
| To future students of Africa in the Twentieth Century: Culture, Representation, and New Diasporas. This class offers an incredible opportunity to explore Africa’s history, culture, and global connections in a deeply engaging and interactive way. Come with an open mind, ready to challenge stereotypes, learn from diverse perspectives, and engage in meaningful discussions. The well–structured syllabus, thought–provoking assignments, and moderated presentations provide a solid foundation for critical thinking and collaborative learning. This course not only broadens your knowledge of African experiences but also encourages personal growth by reshaping how you understand history, culture, and representation in a global context. |
| Great course which allows you to expand your thinking about Africa. Def recommend to take if you are at all curious! If you do the readings you will get a lot of them, and it makes for exciting discussion which makes class fun! |
| Professor Ogene is great! This class will provide you with a wide breadth of knowledge about Africas history, particularly focused on the 20th century. This course is not stressful and great for anyone interested in the topic! |
| Take this class! Professor Tim is truly a wonderful professor and he knows how to lead a class and hold an enjoyable and knowledgeable conversation with the class! He always hears your voice and opinion and each class you learn something new and insightful! |
| PLEASE TAKE THIS CLASS! If you see a course taught by Prof. Ogene, you sign up for it. This was hands down my favorite class I've taken here. Prof. Ogene is one of the best professors at this college—he’s incredibly intelligent, kind, and genuinely cares about his students. This was my second course with him, and once again, everything about it was so thoughtfully structured. The class discussions were a highlight because we had such a diverse group of students with different backgrounds (Nigeria, London, Ivory Coast, etc) and academic focuses. From PhD candidates in African Studies and Religion to MBA students, and STEM/Humanities undergraduates, everyone brought their unique perspectives to the table and it made for productive, nuanced conversations. |
