Fall 2021 - I had Professor Goodwin-White for GEOG 158 Population Geography in Fall 2021. As an aspiring Demographer, I really enjoyed taking this class with her! I thought her midterm and final were very manageable but some people in the class seemed to have found them very confusing and challenging. There is a very short research paper due near the end of the quarter, and I thought it was very fun. I think the prof graded only like 10-15% of the papers submitted, and the TA graded the rest. I got mine graded by the professor, and I think she did so in a very thoughtful and generous way as she gave me a 100 out of 100 with a nice feedback. Overall, I do not think this class is hard at all. You do need to watch the lectures and read the textbook every week but that's pretty much all you need to do. 100% recommended.

Winter 2018 - Race and ethnicity are contentious topics, and the lack of agreement between "professionals" in the field makes this class' reading material onerous - and there is quite a bit of required reading. Jamie Goodwin-White is not a poor professor, though lectures can be a bit boring. I had one important class assignment (broken into two parts), a midterm, and a final. The grading for the assignment was vague and unhelpful; however, the midterm and final were fairly written and graded. BOTTOM LINE: if you enjoy sociology, or if you are interested in understanding US racial dynamics, then you might enjoy this class. Would I enroll again? Not a chance.
