Winter 2024 - I took this class to declare as a History major. Professor Marotti was a compassionate and attentive instructor who genuinely valued each student's feedback and ideas on how to improve the class so that each student could succeed. Although the class was reading-intensive, the workload was manageable. The course structure consisted of weekly discussions that were as long as each student wanted. The culmination of the class was a final 8-10 page paper that provided students with the opportunity to explore a theme of their choice revolving around the overarching topic of the course. I highly recommend taking this course with Professor Marotti. He was funny and kind.

Spring 2022 - Prof. Von Glahn is great! The class can certainly get a little boring at times, considering how long it is and the material is so foreign to most students. But, he tries his best to make it fun. He's also reasonable with the assignments and flexible with deadlines. I would recommend doing ~90% of the readings, taking some notes to participate in the discussions, writing your essays with clarity and substance, and asking him for help. My most important tip is to take a coffee/matcha/yerba mate to his class and you'll be able to function fine.
