Reviews of professor Xolela Mangcu

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
The worst professor I have ever had. Out of all the things I regret in 2020 taking his class is the first one. Unless you want to hate your life DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS. Hes an absolute mess, never answers emails, and doesnt know how to explain anything. Its honestly surprising that he works at GW. Disappointed.

he is genuinely so unorganized and does not know how to use Blackboard. if he just knew how to stay organized and make his class schedules properly, i think he would be a great professor. i have to take him again next year (FREE ME) but its ok bc at least this class was an easy A

He is really nice however he never responds to emails. His class is very disorganized. There are 4 writing assignments each worth 10% and then there is a midterm(30%) which can be very confusing. The final is a research paper that is worth 30%

not a fan. i loved the content but he was unclear, super confused on his own syllabus, extremely unclear in everything. will be avoiding him at all costs.

I feel bad saying this but I did not learn anything in this class besides how to study before the exams and pass the course. The grading was all over the place, and whenever I asked Professor Mangcu for comments on why he graded my work a certain way, he would tell me it was just a "feeling" he had. Overall a stressful experience.

Prof Mangcu is the most disorganized professor at GW. Lectures never really lasted the whole time. He tells you mostly what the midterm will be and has good stories but won't answer questions in class purposely and will never respond to your emails. Frustrating is probably the best word to describe him. Don't think I learned a thing in his class.
