Generally good quality. Both students and teachers are happy about the quality. The pass rate was very high, indicating good quality of the course (as indicated by the students' reference report below):The reference group's report on the quality of the learning activities:  The learning activities have beensatisfactory in both groups. In HIST3485, the obligatory assignment (OA) on theTrans-Atlantic Slave Trade provided the students a good introduction to thecourse material as a whole and the topic in focus especially. The AFR2850OAs have been helpful in providing various opportunitiesto go in-depth into key subjects, as well as helping with gaining anoverview of the subject itself.   The lectures themselves have beengreat. They have been interesting and educational, and they have covered amagnitude of topics, all of which have been important for the overallunderstanding of the history of modern Africa. The addition of supplementarylinks in the presentations were really helpful, and thepresentations, as a whole, were very easy to follow.   The literature hasbeen relevant and it has provided a good foundation for thestudents. Some students pointed out that much of the literature hasbeen fairly new, which they saw as a positive thing seeing as Africa as acontinent is in constant change. The books and articles have been varied inboth focus and style, providing a well-rounded foundation for the students’continued learning on the subject of modern African history.     Both of the exams fit well withinthe subject parameters given throughout the semester. They leaned heavily onthe literature given, as well as providing room for individualanalysis.   Measures that may enhance the learningoutcomes, as proposed by the reference group:  Measures that have beenmentioned:   ·       Providinga link for the movies and other videos we are supposed to watch, instead ofwatching them in class through zoom. It was difficult to hear sometimes, andthe quality was not very good.   ·       Ondigital lectures: due to the lag in video and sound over zoom, it is importantfor the lecturer to provide enough time for a question to be answered by thestudents. Many students wished for more discussions on topics,but didn’t feel like there was given clear enough room for the students tobe involved. This comes mostly from the fact that compared to an in-classexperience, a zoom lecture will remove the clear sign of people who wish tospeak. Therefore, people wait even longer to see if someone else is going toanswer the question or not. Since the lecturer in this class is not used tothis type of medium, he went a bit too quickly into answering thequestion himself, or moving on. It is difficult to have a properdiscussion over zoom, and the lecturer need to understand this.   ·       Theyalso sought that more of the questions up for discussion could have been givento the students beforehand, so that they could participate evenmore.    Feedback to the lecturer:  The overwhelming feedback to thelecturer is that the students were very satisfied with the course. They foundthe topic interesting, the literature both relevant and informative, and theOAs helpful. The lecturer was clear-spoken and knowledgeable and provided awell-rounded and in-depth introduction into the many sides of modern Africanhistory.   Many students wished us to pass on their well-wishes for the lecturer and thank him for a great semester!

1.     The LUB was up to date and relevant2.     It was published on BB as well as communicated directly through emails and classroom contact.3.     The LUB corresponded/related well with other/earlier parallel LUB

The digital classroom approach had its limitations due to the lag in video and sound over zoom.But the learning activities in were productive and satisfactoryStudents required more possibility to participate, but the digital approach was not so optimal for that purpose.It was difficult to evaluate the learning environment as students joined from different locations, with different mediums (mobile phone/tablet/laptop) often some without video connections.

The course outcome was assessed through 6-hours home exams via Inspera.

Faglig innhold

Emnet gir en oversikt over hovedtrekk i moderne afrikansk historie (Afrika sør for Sahara) i perioden fra ca. 1700 og frem til i dag. Formålet er å gi innsikt i viktige endringsprosesser i afrikanske samfunn sett i et lengre, historisk perspektiv. Viktige endringsprosesser inkluderer den transatlantiske slavehandelen, kolonitid, postkolonialisme og demokratisering. Afrika settes i en global sammenheng, og kontakt og interaksjon med omverdenen står sentralt. Både "ytre" og "indre" faktorer trekkes inn i en diskusjon av Afrikas utvikling. Emnet vil også kontekstualisere og problematisere forestillinger om Afrika som har blitt skapt siden 1700-tallet og i mange tilfeller fremdeles eksisterer. 

Emnet er et valgfritt påbyggingsemne i bachelor- og lektorprogrammet i historie og obligatorisk del av bachelorprogrammet i afrikastudier.
