This class was about Economic European history. The subject wasn't that great but he got a good point across. He repeats stuff so he can get it in your head. The midterm was ok, it was multiple choice true/false, and the final was ok but took a while to do. The final was exaclty like the StudyGuide he gave us, even though thats cool, you still have to remember a lot of the stuff he taught. Very cool professor, he seems like he gets irritated with questions, but in reality he encourages it. So a pretty good professor. Worth taking, also the he looks at attendance when grading, so its important to attend class.

Fall 2024 - I was apprehensive taking her, but she is really a wonderful professor. The class consisted of a take-home midterm (40%), an in-person final (50%), and a participation grade (10%). The midterm was based on two or more primary sources and the final was two essays where she gives the questions beforehand to study. I did not care for war before this class, and she made it interesting. There were a lot of things I didn't know and she was very understanding and sweet. She is clearly passionate about the topic. She does assign a lot of reading, so be prepared. Honestly, do the D’Avennant, Saint Pierre, and Kant reading for sure. Read on topics you don't know and her book is a good base for each lesson but isn't necessary. Her presentations are helpful and make sure to attend class and participate. I wish this class had an additional discussion succession. She really wants people to talk and argue, so she asks the crowd questions during her lecture. She seems like a hard grader, but I feel like if you follow the directions, you'll be fine in the class. A great upper division class and I would take her again.
