Winter 2020 - Very sweet man and a great professor. He was very understanding and always took the time to hear our concerns/ opinions. His weekly quizzes will most definitely not be missed. I sort of expected this class to be different, such as reading memoirs, poems, songs, or letters from people of the revolution, and, instead, it was simply dedicated to reading around 4 books about the time period. Overall, it was an interesting class and I would recommend it.
