Fall 2023 - Literally so lit, all we did was analyze politics, culture, music, film, art, intersectionality, of American history in the 50s-70s. SOOOOO easy if you took APUSH bc you can easily pull stuff from apush for essays! but honestly not too much boring history yk. super engaging! all the professors are lit

Fall 2024 - I didn't like this class very much. But I'm more of a STEM girl than a history or writing girl. There's a lot of reading, honestly more than I think is possible to realistically do. That being said, I don't think you need to do all of the reading to do well in the class. You learn really niche, interesting things but don't expect it to be easy.
