Super nice and caring professor. Really interested in what he is teaching and wants students to learn. Very understanding. Should read chapters assign to ensure A, multiple grades not just exams. Enjoyed the class!

I really enjoyed Professor Conteh's class. He is super knowledgeable about a lot of things in the Africana Studies world. He also really enjoys hearing our POV when it comes to what we're learning which is always fun. Grades are made up of 5 papers, a few quizzes/tests, & a final project. He grades very clearly and is willing to help students.

Amazing Professor! He is so knowledgeable about the material and his lectures are interesting and easy to follow. He is also an easy grader and the work load is very manageable. Lots of extra credit opportunities too! Definitely take this class with him if you can!

He is very enthusiastic about what he teaches and he does try to engage participation. Its an easy A because of the amount of extra credit he gives so there is no reason to fail his class. His exams are very easy, just study from the power points and document project and you'll be all set for an A on the exams

Very cool teacher. You need to attend class to make sure you understand the readings. The content of tests are on the lectures and the readings but it's not really bad. The readings can get overwhelming at times but it's easy to bounce back. Really knew what he was talking about during his lectures. Be prepared for class discussions.

AMAZING professor. So interesting, I enjoyed every bit of his content. He is fair. If you take good notes in class and get a general idea of the readings assigned, you WILL get an A+. I HIGHLY recommend taking him. Trust me, he's the best.

Best professor, lots of heavy/intense reading but aside from that he wants you to pass, and enjoy the class.

I took the variable course, "Human Rights and Mass Incarceration" with him. He uses various teaching methods. Quizzes and exams are very straightforward; he just wants to test if you know the ideas discussed in lecture. Class size was small, so participation does matter (and it makes the class more interesting). A lot of extra credit is offered.

Conteh is a solid but not super fun professor, but engaging with him and your classmates during discussion makes for a more fun class. He doesn't count participation or take attendance and always posts really thorough presentations online, so you could easily never go to class except for exams and still pass, as long as you do your homework.
