Most Helpful Review
Fall 2025 - As this is my first quarter after transferring to UCLA, I was super concerned about my grades and adjusting to a large university like UCLA, especially given the fast-paced quarter system. Fortunately, I was able to enroll in this class. Dr. Mays is an excellent professor who possesses a deep knowledge of the subject, which is very personal to him. He is down-to-earth, and I appreciate that he doesn't have the Hotep attitude that some professors in African American Studies may exhibit. The course content is very manageable, and if you have previously taken an African American Studies or Indigenous Studies class, you should find this class a breeze! Good luck, yall!
