The professor is super nice and caring, but this class was a mess. The TA's and professor were on different pages and all of the students felt confused about the grading scale. It seemed nearly impossible to get an A with such different feedback that often contradicted itself. I would take this professor again if he had better TA's.

The lectures were both live and recorded, so we were free to watch them on our own time. Professor Higbie was very open and personable, and the class was not difficult overall. The instructions for our three papers were very clear and seemed straightforward. However, many of us were confused by the rubric and the vague feedback on our papers. Not to alarm you- workload was very reasonable, it was the grading that was a bit unclear. I'd recommend going to office hours.

I really enjoyed this course! It was really interesting to learn about working class movements and their significance. Professor Higbie is a great lecturer and made them very engaging and easy to follow. The workload was pretty light with two 2-3 page (double-spaced) assignments, random short discussion posts/replies, and a 7 page (double-spaced) maximum paper. There was a lot of assigned reading (and they're really interesting!), however, you can get away with relying on lectures to keep up until it's time for the paper, but the syllabus and slides he provides allow you to pinpoint which readings would be important in your paper so you can miss others if needed.

I love professor Higbie! Class definitely functions more on the history side of things, but all of the class readings are on Canvas to use.
