Winter 2025 - EZ class but cannot recommend it if you are familiar with U.S. history beyond the high school level, it will piss you off so much with how many things are glossed over and how the inadequacies of data are never addressed (e.g. women's unpaid domestic labor). Sometimes issues are brought up in the reading (e.g. whether gang labor was actually effective) and never addressed in class. Not a class that rewards critical thinking.

Spring 2024 - Most mid-class of all time. Definitely take it if you like writing and dislike tests. Her in-class essay tests are graded very harshly. I sort of recommend it.
