Amit Prakash

The European Catastrophe was a great class. Professor Prakash is very accommodating and nice. Readings typically took took about 1 hour to complete. Before weekly discussions, a one-page summary was done which described the readings and applied the topics to things we learned in lecture. The overall pace of the course was nice, and honestly not that much work. Discussion was useful, as the readings were made more clear by Prakash. Overall, highly recommend this course.

Prakash is a great professor and this is a great class. Definitely very reading-heavy, but I found the material very interesting (I didn't take European history in high school, so this course filled a big gap in my knowledge). Lectures require some pretty fast note-taking because we go through a lot of content each class, but Prakash welcomes questions. There's a 1-page reflection/summary of the week's readings due each Friday so that you have things to talk about in discussion section. Tests were hard but definitely fair. I highly recommend this class if you're okay with a decent bit of reading!!

This class was super engaging and very informative. Amit Prakash did an amazing job explaining the material and keeping the class engaged. There is a lot of reading but it's manageable. The discussions were super fun and had a lot of great content. Going to lecture are very important, although he shares the slides, it not about that–he explains and expands so much from it.
