Comment:
Dr. Brooks is passionate and sincerely cares about her students. Her lectures were mandatory but they weren't dreadful at all. She made each lecture interesting and appeals to all learning types. Her exams and grading are fair. Pop quizzes, but honestly they were very simple just make sure to read (readings aren't long). Learned a lot in this class

Comment:
Dr Brooks teaches like a high school class: students take turns sharing a quote from the day's readings, and explain how the quote answers Brooks' discussion questions. It's a nice change from the usual fast-paced courses, but you can feel a little patronized by her over explanations. Regardless, the readings are interesting and Brooks is so smart!

Dr. Brooks is a really nice person, and she cares a lot. My only complaint is she is a tough grader, but if your interested in her course take it. I enjoyed it, and her a lot.

Comment:
I took Dr. Brooks for Africana Urban Women and honestly I was expecting this class to kind of suck but i enjoyed it a lot. You're allowed to miss two classes without your grade being penalized. No homework-- its a novel centered class. So just keep up the readings because her quizzes are random and extremely easy. Definitely take her for an easy A.

Comment:
she is a very good teacher however she will make you read a lot. some of the reading are hard to understand but she will give you a pop quiz at the beginning of some classes and talk about the readings after. 2 exams all open ended with at least 40 questions. avoid if you don't want a lot of work. my most demanding class out of 6 this semster

If you're looking for an easy A, I would not recommend taking this class. Dr. Brooks is an amazing teacher and the class is very interesting, however she doesn't give out study guides for exams and the class is actually quite hard. There are about 2-3 readings to read each class, while you should read them, as she has 10 pop quizzes each semester.
