Reviews of professor Bamba Ndiaye

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He is a great professor who provides all the readings you need on blackboard. He did require us to purchase an app to take pop quizzes on but its a lot cheaper than a text book. He made lectures interesting and tests and quizzes are super easy if you just read and watch the given videos. BUT beware of skipping class, it will kill your grade quick.

I took this class remotely in the fall. It was a good class and very well-organized. Assignments were posted on time. He also provided weekly tutorial videos which were very helpful.

He officially transitioned to doctor status this semester. He is a work in progress but he cares. The classes were scattered. We had to stay after at times cause he ran out of time. "Just look in the book and you'll understand" was a phrase we heard a lot. He's by no means awful. He's learning as are we. If you're understanding, he will be too.

I took HUM152 thinking it'd be an easy A but was mistaken. No book but assigns lots of articles (10- 15 pages), occasional reading quizzes, asks super specific & not relevant questions on exams. exams are worth a lot of your grade. Debates over unrelated material. Not always objective in grading. Way too much work for a gen ed.

Super nice teacher and the workload isnt insane but it was pretty difficult. If you are looking to take this class for a pre req, I wouldnt recommend because its very overwhelming on top of other classes. However if you are into French history and serious in learning about this, this is a good class to take.
