The class I'm thinking about is WI(writing-intensive), so it will fill a requirement. It also fits nicely into my schedule.
Has anyone taken one? What was it like? Are they useful in any other discipline except Black studies?

Afro-American studies course vary widely from school to school, but the basics of each should be a review of the Afro-American experience in our country. Demonstrating the contributions of Afro- Americans in all facets of American life.
In most American history courses the only mention of minorities are the Native Americans as savages and Afro-Americans as slaves. We've are a far greater part of American history than just slaves.
From cowboys to explores, we have been a part of the American experience ( experiment ).
The course should enlighten and surprise you, make you proud and sad, but most of all it will make knowledgeable of our peoples endeavors.
I hope you take the course.

Well it all depends on if you enjoy learning the history of African Americans. If you do I think you would really enjoy this class, it is really exciting, and will have you thinking in a new way. If you don't enjoy in learning about history then this my not be the class for you. Pick a class you will really enjoy!! Who said school can't be fun. Hope this helped you with your decision

You will take plenty of useless classes. Take this one that fits in your schedule and covers your WI. Generally at least very interesting history.
