Dr Song was great this semester. Each class was packed with information, sometimes a bit too much for me. But overall I enjoyed the fact that he was a true African so most times was emotionally attached to his lectures. I also like that fact that he always start class by asking "what's going on in the world" . which invited conversation

Dr. Song is a passionate African professional that turns each lecture into a comprehensive discussion. I liked that he preferred understanding of ideas/topics rather than expect students to regurgitate facts verbatim. The work load is nowhere near extensive. I highly recommend taking Dr. Song for the African Diaspora class.

Professor Song is a great teacher, who is very passionate about his students and their knowledge about the African Diaspora. He gives quizzes that are based directly from the notes that he gives in class. Just attend class, take notes, and review them and you will be fine. Only two papers and a debate. Easy A, or B if you don't put in the effort.
