Allred has taught “Politicizing Beyoncé” eleven times now. According to him, the course discusses “the thin line Beyoncé walks as a sex kitten-***-girl power role model.”
Learning about the history of powerful black women & Feminism? Or maybe Math 101 is more important so that I can learn how to do something a calculator will do for me in 2 seconds.
People pay around 2,500 per COURSE at the University of Rutgers. This is THIEVERY that people are paying that much for this course. Boot her.
I go to Rutgers and this isn't true. You pay a set amount per semester and it doesn't matter how many courses you take as long as you are a full time student.
I don't understand the people who came in here and fixated on the fact that it's a white guy teaching. I realize having a black women up there "feels" more legit, but if he's literally preaching the exact same stuff another POC woman would have, who cares?? Especially if the option is between having the course exist and not having it exist
Awesome professor! Doesn't believe in grades and is very lenient. No actual homework.

BEST. PROFESSOR. AT RUTGERS. Like the second class the computer wasn't working and he cancelled class. He says attendance is mandatory, but a lot of people skip.

He doesn't even lecture, we watch one or two of Beyonce's music videos and then we discuss them. There's only a one page paper due every week, and they're super easy. Take him!!!

Just show up to class and post to Tumblr every week to get an A! He lets us pick our own grades at the end of the semester

We read one book, but a lot of people chose not to. Only definite weekly hw was to post 3 things to class Tumblr weekly.
