Summer 2024 - I understand why Prof. Zeleny wanted us to understand how to use online resources and how to properly interact with different forms of information, but the fact that we only focused on that makes this being a history class feel very misleading. It should be an online research class or archival studies class instead. We learn next to nothing about history, and that is why I signed up for this class. The assignments are easy and simple, and she is a very forgiving grader, but anyone who is hoping to learn anything about the history of medicine with Zeleny (as I was) will be sorely disappointed. The content really has no relation to history besides the name.
