Most Helpful Review
Spring 2024 - Sladeck is a great professor, and I highly recommend him if you're comfortable with reading and writing. As a historian, Sladeck emphasizes writing and has a rather long list of guidelines each paper must meet, such as no passive voice and proper Chicago format with footnotes. Attend Office hours. This class consisted of roughly 1500 pages of reading and a little under 20 pages of writing. With that said, this class is an easy A for anybody who is comfortable with reading and writing.

Winter 2023 - i have to start off by saying I'm not a fan of US history so maybe my review is a little bias but I thought his lectures erred on the side of boring. First off all, there was so much information he would give and I thought some were quite redundant. Hes also just not a great lecturer. Like he def knows his stuff and is really into history of california but hes just not a good lecturer. all he does is read off his slides in an alarming speed, one where its basically impossible for you to write it all down. he has no texts on his slides, his lectures are not recorded and so it makes it extremely difficult to get all the information down. he is really helpful in his office hours and in most cases seems like a nice guy but i wouldnt value that as being a good prof. i dont think i would consider his exams and papers difficult. he does tell you exactly what he wants from them and so if you follow that closely your more than likely to get a good grade its just that man was this class absolutely boring
