Fall 2024 - Her lectures are disorganized and messy but really funny! She is entertaining and makes jokes. It's a take-home midterm and final. The prompts are usually posted a week before they're due. The final has a ten-page Intellectual Autobiography but it's credit/no credit. Try to go to office hours (usually on Zoom) and EMAIL HER TO GRADE YOUR PAPERS!!! The TAs/readers destroy the papers, but she's a chill grader. Also, she is chill with late work. I submitted my final the next day it was due and it was good. Just email her and talk to her if you need help, she is very understanding. Honestly, you don't have to do all the weekly readings. Just pick a few to focus on for the midterm/final. You do need to read a book and write about it as part of your final. I didn't read mine and did fine. Also, you can miss lectures every now and then. If you attend class and have a general idea of what the readings are you should be fine. This was a low-effort history class and it was pretty fun. I would take it again!
