Quarter: Spring 2018
Grade: A
June 27, 2018

Professor Nasiali's lectures are multi-dimensional in terms of history, politics, culture and economics, entertaining and she does a great job of connecting modern French history to today's political and cultural environment. Her class mainly focuses on the political development of modern France at the beginning of the Third Republic and goes into the early 2000's. She encourages students to engage with questions throughout the lectures which are usually short. Once a week, participation will be graded by a group write-up of a primary source document assigned for the week which are not difficult. She remembers everyone's name and face, so constant attendance and participation are helpful. She also offers extra credit and encourages attendance to office hours. Overall, this is one of the easier classes I've taken at UCLA and would highly recommend it for the interesting material and great professor.

This class is by no means an easy A. Professor Nasiali is a kind and warm professor who genuinely cares for her students not only for their academic success but also for their personal-wellbing. This class is compromised of 1 midterm, and revised 2nd midterm, and final paper. The topics of this class are complex. The professor is a tough grader, but she really wants her students to improve on their historical inquiry. She offers extra credit and it definitely helped my grade. If you are looking to do the bare minimum please take another class. Professor Nasiali's curriculum is the UCLA standard, so if you're not passionate about History and have no motivation to improve your writing skills you're setting yourself up for failure in this course.

You really need a great amount of work in this class to have an A.
For the midterm draft, she will give you a lot of revising advice and DO follow her instructions (although lots of them are actually contradictory and ambiguous).

If you show your improvements, she will give you a pretty good grade.

Expect to get graded harshly on your papers so make sure you get started on them early and go to office hours/the writing center

I actually took her History of Imperialism course. Professor Nasiali was very warm and friendly. The class was simple, just a few papers and in class reflections. She also played some nice songs and videos from each time period to keep us interested. I would take another class with her if I could.
