Reviews of professor Mychal Odom

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Lectures were complete nonsense. We were assigned 40-60 pages of complex reading every week that was never discussed during class. He rambled about things that had nothing to do with what we were supposed to be learning. We learned absolutely nothing and yet he had the audacity to be a tough grader when it came to assignments. Avoid at all costs

odom is very unorganized and his grading is unclear. he should probably focus more on the literature that he is trying to teach rather than playing music videos every class. he then proceeds to flood you with 3 assignments at the end of the semester to match his syllabus.

Professor Odom was an amazing professor, I took this class as a core requirement and because I have taken other African American classes in the past so I thought I would do good with knowing the material from other classes in the past. He is very lecture heavy but the lectures are also available on his syllabus to review at later times. Amazing!

Lecture heavy class but super funny and interesting teacher. Took the class for a requirement and honestly enjoyed it. Entire grade is 3 or 4 essays about movies watched in class and then movie questions. No real deadlines - he just wants you to turn in your best work. Make sure to take notes because lectures posted have nothing you need.

Dr. Odom is so funny and so cool! He is very knowledgeable about his subject area and relates it to modern life so well. He assigns a few easy in class writings and around 4 essays for the semester. He spends the class lecturing and gets off topic a lot which makes class fun. Pay attention to what he says because it's SO helpful for essays.
