Kalinga is teaching sub-saharan African History...

Degrand is teaching Diplomatic European History...

Anybody had either professor?

I had Kalinga for western african history. Some advice I could give you is just make sure you go to class and be on time. He is a real stickler if you show up late or much less show up to class at all. The class i took had to take home tests (i thought he graded really easy; didnt get less than an A-) and then the final exam which consisted of one essay question. He is a professor that just like to get it done. No BS what so ever and he is more than willing to help explain topics in more detail if you dont understand. I dont know anything about Degrand but i would recommend Kalinga.

Degrand is horribly boring


Kalinga is an extremely interesting professor and that class is great, take him.

have you had Luria for 411? That spot just opened too. He looks like a cooler guy than Degrand.

I never had Degrand, but Kalinga was very interesting. He's definitely a no-nonsense professor when it comes to attending class and showing respect, but his grading was fairly easy and he genuinely cared about the subject and helping students learn.
