Assignments basically boil down to: two 7-page essays with their respective rough drafts and brainstorming assignments, + two creative storytelling papers that are like 1 or 2 pages, super easy + 1 short reading guide presentation for your section.
I really hated this class most of the time I was in it, but in hindsight, I liked the material and it's really a manageable W2 class. There are just some issues you'll have to deal with. Before I go over them, I just want to say that most issues can be solved through GOOD COMMUNICATION WITH YOUR TA, and all the TAs are amazing and super accommodating. That said; the professor sometimes gives unclear instructions/deadlines; the essay prompts are so vague I wanted to smash my head into the wall every time I thought about them; lectures were really slow bc sometimes the material was dry.
The readings were actually really good though, like I gained so much more from reading the poems/essays/articles/films than paying attention to lecture. Even though the material is slow, it's very valuable (IMO as an asian american who didn't grow up in asian american culture). One thing I will say is that since the prof is filipino and specializes in filipino studies (I think?) there are almost a disproportionate amount of readings about filipino american history, which was fine with me bc I am filipino but I can see why others would be turned off by that. I still recommend this course for anyone interested in Asian American studies and wants a manageable W2 class. I haven't heard of any super easy W2 classes so this would be your best bet. Just remember to communicate with your TA and you'll be good.
