| Everything |
| I liked how the course linked aspects of real world art and modern media to what we had discussed
in class. |
| I enjoyed learning about other cultures. |

compelling. |
| I liked the discussion parts. It gave me a better understanding of the material. |

long. |

| Some readings were relatively long and a little difficult to comprehend. |

course. |

keep our 930 am class entertained. She showed knowledge on every topic and did her best to

| She is a very good professor. she was always prepared and encouraged class discussions. I like how
she was unbiased about many controversial subjects and opened up different points of views for

understanding. While some readings were lengthy- most were very interesting. |

15. Which aspects of the course did you like the best?
|
| the socratic discussion and the facilitations |
| I liked the interaction with my classmates. |
| Facilitations and discussions about assigned readings, made everyone engaged and gave everyone a
chance to talk. |

| Group discussions about readings and videos. |
| I enjoyed learning about American history through an unbiased stand point |
| The reading responses were my favorite of the course. |
| I liked the class discussions. It allowed me to hear about what other people think. I also enjoyed the
readings. |
| Class discussion was always interesting (when the majority of people read). |
| Debating amongst fellow classmates on certain social movements and ideas was fun and interesting. |
| Great subjects and reading materials |
| I liked the presentations and discussions. |
| The student facilitations when I did not have to go up. |
|
|
16. Which aspects of the course did you like least?
|
| nothing |
| having to read a lot of passages. |
| N/A |
| I did not like facilitating. |
| Probably reading. |
| Some of the readings were a little dry |
| I did not like being paired up in twos or threes for discussion. I liked it
best when the class discussed as one whole group. |
| I did not enjoy some of the dry readings and articles we had to read for homework. |
| Early in the morning and almost a huge chunk of your grade being participation was difficult but
easy to overcome |
| Maybe a little too much reading, I like short but to the point readings |
| The reading of the very dry materials. Not all of them but some of them. |
| The reading since I'm not very good at dissecting readings. |
| The group presentation...I do not like those in general. |
|
|
17. My overall evaluation of this course is...
|
| it was alright. Very intersting and learned things that I never knew before. |

were only 6 students made the course more engaging. |

| I really enjoyed this course! I would take another class that followed the same structure as this one. |
| A very good course, learned alot from the professor and peers. |

new materials. |
| Very good course and it encouraged me to minor in American Studies. I really enjoyed it |
| I enjoyed the class very much, and would recommend both the class and Stacy as an instructor to
friends. |
| I enjoyed it a lot and would recommend it. |
| Great! Really informative and inspiring |
| A good course. |
| Although the course has a heavy load of reading, I honestly enjoyed this class. |
| Very good and interesting but the readings really put me off for some reason. |
|
|
18. Other comments:
|
| There were times when class discussion as a single group were quiet.
However, I feel as though Ms. Nojima assumed that the students haven't read
the assigned readings. That was not the case for me in particular. I felt
that sometimes my input would be repetitive and not necessary; I didn't
want to repeat differently what someone had already said.
I also feel that the feedback Ms. Nojima sought after from her students
weren't readily available for an on the spot answer. For example, doing a
reading response as an assignment allows the student to think thoughtfully,
which requires a copious amount of time for a student like myself. I
conclude that the questions asked toward the class as a group should have
been used as a reading response question rather than an in-class
discussion. |
| Stacy will you marry me? |
| I was super lazy this semester but I bet I would have enjoyed the course a lot more if I was not. |

13. My overall evaluation of this instructor is....
|
| Profession Nojima was a great professor. She really knew the subject and communicated to students
effectively. Her in-depth analysis on each topic of the week helped us students to not only think
more critically about each subject but provided us with a broader perspective on the concepts. She
provided us with great discussion and encouraged us to voice our individual/personal opinions
(which is hard to come by). She also provided us with opportunities to receive extra credit. She used
different mediums and styles of teaching to make the subject more interesting to learn about. |
| Good job |
| great teacher, very smart! |
| I really enjoyed the small class setting, made group discussions more intimate. |
| She is an enthusiastic and engaging teacher who encourages her students to
not only think critically, but also to take into account different
perspectives. She prefers to have class discussions rather than a lecture-
based method of teaching, making the class more comfortable and increases
participation. Overall, she is a good teacher who really wants her students
to learn in her class and succeed. |
| She is a great teacher. There was a lot of readings but she always encouraged us to read and if it was too heavy she would revise it for us. She was always excited for class and ready to discuss. |
| She is a great teacher who really enjoys teaching this subject. |
| Solid teacher. |
| Excellent instructor. She is very approachable and is very understanding of our needs and is very
convenient in such that she tries to work around our schedules. |
| Nice but she expected a lot from our class. |
| Very, very enthusiastic about the material, to the point of inspiration. |
| an extremely knowledgeable and professional instructor who inspired me to do my best. Her
enthusiasm and extensive insight on all American Studies topics made me want to know more about
possibly changing my major to American Studies. Ms. Stacy is a wonderful teacher who is the
epitome of one who truly cares about the success of each of her students. Thank you for everything! |
| she was one of the best teachers ive ever had. i fully enjoyed having her as my professor and she was always so nice and easy to talk to! |
| Professor Nojima is a highly qualified, helpful and well-informed instructor
with good attitude and enthusiastic presentation. |
| She is a great instructor. |
| A great teacher who has a passion for American Studies. Creates an even level of discussion for
class involvement and selects great material for thought and class stimulation. |
| A great professor and very knowledgable. She is great at conducting class discussions and applying the material. |
| Ms. Nojima was very involved in the creation of discussion in the classroom. Although there was less class discussion than she preferred, she was able to work on trying to engage the class in the materials. She had a good knowledge of the materials as well as the movements that we were focused on in class. |
| very good instructor |
| GREAT!!!! Very knowledgable of the course material, also actively responds to questions that
students ask. |

15. Which aspects of the course did you like the best?
|
| I enjoyed connecting articles to the overall concept/social movement that we were learning each
week. |
| In depth discussion without criticism |
| discussions were challenging but interesting |
| The debates we had in class over topics given. |
| I first took this class as an elective but I enjoy the topics that we
discuss. After taking this class, I feel that the information we learn is so
important in American culture, and I am slightly disappointed that the
material is omitted from history classes in secondary education. |
| The content. The information I learned about the movements in history was very interesting because I haven't heard of most of them until now. |
| I liked the freedom she gave us when it came to essay topics. |
| Discussions. |
| I enjoyed some of the readings and being able to discuss them with my peers. I think this allowed
me to gain a deeper understanding of the material and it gives me different perspectives on topics
that are relevant to today. |
| The movie that we watched that related back to the re-education camps in vietnam |
| I enjoyed the freedom in the essays, writing essays was actually the most enjoyable part. |
| I enjoyed the class discussions and the short clips we watched. |
| learning about all the social movements and alot of history i didnt know |
| Class discussions |
| The discussions and movies. |
| I enjoyed discussions most, despite half of the class being hella shy and quiet. |
| The class discussions |
| I enjoyed the flexibility that Ms. Nojima had in adjusting schedules and assignments to the class' needs. |
| The videos |
| I loved the variety of topics. I learned a lot from this course and gained many more perspectives of
groups that I never would have thought of otherwise. Also, I loved the assignment of analyzing the
Frederick Douglass passage, line by line...a very different and interesting way to approach an
analysis paper...usually passages are seen as being one thought, but with this exercise I was able to
appreciate the thought put into every line, a trait that will definitely be beneficial for me in the
future! |
|
|
16. Which aspects of the course did you like least?
|
| It was just a lot of reading but thats what you have to do. |
| America bashing a little too much |
| The reading. It was a lot, but has to be done. |
| Even though the topics were interesting, there was a lot of material to cover
in a short amount of time. |
| The large amount of reading. |
| I liked learning about the different social movements. |
| Reading, but there's no way around it. |
| Some of the readings were quite lengthy. |
| some of the readings were lengthy and boring |
| The different readings all saying the same thing. |
| Nothing |
| alot of reading |
| Presentation :/ |
| I disliked the long readings that i got lost in. If i wasn't all the way in the reading, i retained very
little coming out of it. So interesting readings made things easier. |
| The daily intense reading |
| I personally thought that there was a lot of readings to complete. |
| Long readings |
| The readings were a little long...but I understand the difficulty in explaining an entire movement in a
short passage, so I believe the readings are appropriate. |
|
|
17. My overall evaluation of this course is...
|
| This was a great course and I'm really glad I took it. It was interesting and really forced myself to
think critically on U.S. History and think beyond your own perspective and see others. I loved the
subject and I learned a lot. |
| Good course |
| interesting material covered |
| very informative and different style of learning than im used to but i learned alot |
| I enjoyed it, and she seems really enthusiastic about her work. |
| This is a very interesting course that I feel is fundamental to understand,
especially since this pertains to our own history. It provided a means to
think critically as well as see history through a different viewpoint. |
| It was a great class, and I am glad that I took it. |
| I thought it was a great course and I learned a lot from this course |
| Good class. |
| I enjoyed the course I think it was great. |
| it was ok |
| It was good, pretty fun. |
| an excellent mind-stimulating course that I would recommend to friends in a heartbeat. |
| very good! |
| The course was very well-organized and interesting! |
| It is an awesome course. |
| A+, I'd recommend it to a friend |
| A great class to improve writing and communication as well as learning alot about social movements. |
| I thought I learned a lot of the different aspects of movements that I never saw before. I think it is the perfect class for students who want to learn a different side of history not taught in general history classes. |
| lots of reading but learned alot |
| Amazing course! I would and have recommended this course to friends. |
