Winter 2025 - Super sweet professor and my TA Maya was amazing! The final was super easy, as long as you know the content and the specific materials by heart (really easy to remember), you'll be just fine! You just need to be a good writer and be able to frame your arguments in a manner that facilitates an answer to the question (basically be able to write).

Winter 2023 - This class was super easy and super interesting at the same time. Dr. Mankekar is an engaging and phenomenal lecturer - extremely experienced and knowledgable in her field. Even if you are not interested in Asian American studies, take this course if you need an easy G.E. I can't guarantee that you will not become interested within a few classes, though! Seriously, take this GE. I learned a lot about intersectionality and race and gender relations and will use this knowledge for the rest of my life. All you are graded on is two short reports and a group presentation (graded by your TA). I attended the lectures for the first few weeks and then stopped around the middle of the quarter and I was still able to get A's on the reports and presentation. Keep in mind I am a STEM major - writing is not my strength. The final is optional. I was basically done after week 7. This class is the ideal GE - easy, but not boring at all!
