Fall 2018 - For the most part, this course was pretty interesting and undemanding. The map quiz during Week 1 was a little harsh - yes, you will have to remember the name, location, and capital of every Subsaharan African country by then. The midterm was rough and tested us on subjects that were glossed over in class. The majority of the class bombed it. The final wasn’t too bad, though.

Spring 2020 - professor farole is one of the best professors ive taken so far. her lectures were well organized (used slides) and she knew had to unpack relevant material w/ supporting details. her lectured were engaging and it was easy for students to participate. it is easy to learn her material, as long as you study. exams were moderately hard. there were weekly reading quizzes but the readings are easy and very interesting. definitely learned a lot
