| definitely take this course if you are interested in civil rights or legal history. prof Higginbotham is brilliant and so so kind and helpful. |
| I enjoyed learning from Professor Higginbotham! She is very knowledgable about African American history and also offered great insights. I just think more set one–on–one time and feedback would have been helpful. I also wish that we could have gotten the required readings for free as we only used them for one class session. Overall though I enjoyed the course! |
| It’s a low stress environment where you can learn a lot from your classmates |
| TAKE THIS COURSE! |
| Heavy readings, but so incredibly worth it! They are all fascinating and spark engaging discussions. |
| I would tell students that they should take it if they are curious, but I cannot recommend it with absolute enthusiasm regarding how it operated as a seminar. Professor Higginbotham and Jelani were very nice and great resources, however. |
| Be prepared to digest heavy loads of reading (often a book a week) but also be consistently preparing for the final paper. You will also be asked to participate regularly during seminars, which students have varying levels of comfort with. That said, Professor Higginbotham makes herself tremendously available and so does Jelani. You will learn a great deal from their paired experience and thoughtful feedback! |
| Interesting content, but reading's were too dense. |
| I would recommend the course! It is topical and timely. Learning the material presented in this class will make you a more informed civic participant. |
