Reviews of professor Dallawrence Dean

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Fun seminar to accompany the 2Excel program. I loved the weekly writing, it was easy and a great opportunity to reflect on myself and my journey through college. This was a mostly self-directed seminar, without much appearance from the prof (or anyone really), but when he did have a video he seemed cool.

Interesting lectures - uses Powerpoints and a good amount of videos/films. Must take notes. 2 essays & a final exam during Week 10. Professor is knowledgeable and clear on expectations. The guest speaker he brought in was to show a personal example of the positive effect of affirmative action, a topic we talked heavily about in class.

I absolutely love Dr. Dean! Not only is he an incredible person in the classroom, but also as amazing outside of the classroom. Class mainly revolved around one book and a few readings accessible through Canvas; however, in-class discussions were inclusive of numerous topics related to the general course material. Amazing professor, amazing class.

Required class by Summer Bridge to fulfill the DEI requirement. I genuinely enjoyed this class because it helped me understand my identities better and how they intersect. First intro to CRT was very eye-opening, especially to injustices that occurred at UCSD. Everyone should take this class before they leave UCSD. Prof. Dean is a very wise peson

What's up with his guest speakers :( (super biased guest speakers)? Class was easy, pop quizzes are truly... pop quizzes (mostly free response). Discussion for the entire quarter was canceled. Class counts for DEI and probably another college requirement. Professor Dean does not respond to people besides "Good" during class discussion.

Great dude! Very video and discussion heavy class, but he goes deeper into historical/ current events that people only know very little about.

Dr. Dean is extrmely nice, easy going and understanding. He's really knowledgable and wants the success of his students. Have a general understanding of the readings and use the videos for refrence and you should get an A.
