Spring 2024 - Coming from a non history major taking this class as an easy GE and a person who has loved history all his life, this class is ass. Jessica is the least organized, most boring history teacher I've ever had. Considering she is teaching a course pertaining to one of the most interesting time periods and regions, she manages to turn her class into a 2 hour yap session, focusing on God knows what that you only need to retain about 5% of what she says to bullshit the final essay and the essay questions on the final. Never the less the class was easy as fuck and doesn't take much brain capacity and time if you have the ability to skim texts and spew bullshit in the weekly writing assignments.
