Winter 2022 - I never write reviews on this darn site but given the misconceptions peddled around Professor Corey on here I figured I'd try and provide a counter balance. There is a midterm essay and a final essay, as with most of her classes, in which you have ample choice of prompt and are straightforward. Going to office hours even if just near the date of the essay due dates will reveal almost line by line the thesis she is looking for any prompt that you ask about. She will also personally grade your paper if you attend her office hours even once. The course material is far more engaging and novel than anything you will find in other history courses and she has a rich history herself, which she uses to inform her lectures. She is the most articulate professor I've ever had and expects nothing other than your interest and willingness to listen. Very low stress course as is revealed by the grade distributions.
