2.   My overall evaluation of this course is...
Great course and should be around more for people who want to learn about this often ignored topic.
Such an amazing course! I've learned so much in such a short amount of time. This course it's worth taking
Good, however WAY TOO MUCH WORK. It's honestly so unreasonable how much work goes into class. I think some of the documents are way too long and it's honestly covering way too much material. If we are going to review longer documents, we should be taking a week (2 class days) not just one.
Great class.
Really great. It was one of my favorite courses this semester and I learned a lot.
9/10
Excellent, because in this course I learned so much material that I did not learn from High School and more so, not even knowing some of the material at all. It was also great since I learned more about the suppressed history of African Americans, and about the many different areas that racism exists within the United States. All of the significant events, people, organizations, and progress that I have learned are crucial, especially in these times of despair, uncertainty, and another era of great change.


3.   If this course was taken to fulfill course requirements for your concentration/major, how did this course enhance your personal and/or professional development in your concentration/major?
It meets a need I had for informatio0n and I am happy to have taken the class.
It has enhance my knowledge of history in other cultures
This course is very valuable to me as it has allowed me to gain knowledge into African American history and the role the United States in creating racist institutions. It's a much needed course, especially in this age and time. While it was a lot of work, I would take it again.
This help bring hindsight of an important issue as it has been absent in many aspects of schooling.
It was not required for my major, but it greatly helped my personal growth.
This helped me to better understand what people of color go through and what we can do to help anyone dealing with discrimination
I wanted to take this course because I wanted to learn more about the history of my African American heritage that was not covered in public schools. I was also interested in going more into the depth of material and concepts that I knew, but at the same time wanting to learn more as well. This is vital, because it helps me understand more about my heritage and how I can be more socially, culturally, and even politically refined and find ways to bring about change.

6.   Please comment on the activities or resources that could be added to this course to improve your learning.
Overall good, really appreciated the guest speakers.
More videos would be nice
Not added, just subtract.
None as the instructor is capable of squeezing as much within the given sessions as they weren't overwhelming.
More test prep? More activities if that can happen, maybe presentations to the class or more time to be in groups. That could just be me though.
videos
To be honest, everything went well with the class. I would suggest keeping doing the excellent work!

17.   Please list your suggestions for improving the course and/or the instructor's teaching style and methods.
Either go with having tests, or avoid exams and do papers, this middle of the road pick is a good idea, but not the best when it comes to having standardized tests, essays would've been better.
Cut down on the work, or clarify exactly what we should be reading. Likewise, the midterm and final seem unfair because it's waaaay too much material and you don't know what of the 200 pages read, dozen forum posts, plus IG post, and lecture will be on the exam.
None as the instructor is straightforward with the schedule and is capable of getting everything or as much in each session without being overwhelming.
More advertisement! It should have many more people during the semester. I think the use of guest speakers worked well and were inspirational/insightful. I only did not like the end of class assignments, because I would only have 5-10 minutes to get to them and if I didn't finish, I almost never went back to do the in-class assessments.
video, documentaries
No suggestions that I can think of.


18.   My overall evaluation of this instructor is....
Great instructor with alot of ideas and getting students to both participate and contribute to the class.
Amazing instructor!!
Great and passionate teacher! Makes class very enjoyable and is very accommodating.
Great teacher as the instructor is very lively during the time of COVID-19.
Really good, I would like to take another class with her again. I liked how she really cared about the students and what was being taught.
The instructor was very helpful and really cared for her students, she wanted everyone to go home with learning something new every class
Amazing, because the instructor had much passion for the content and conducted the course well. Furthermore, the instructor did a great job in facilitating, providing regular and additional material, video content, and giving the chance for students to communicate and work in small breakout groups. I would like to mention that it was great to have class discussions on the lessons and material, because it made us learn more from each other, see new, and even different perspectives as well. In all, the instructor did an amazing job with conducting this new course and I would recommend upcoming and future students to take HIST-398E African American History!
