Amy Morsman

Morsman is great. I took this class for a distribution requirement but I thought that the books we read and lecture material was interesting, and there was a variety of material types. Although I do not find myself very interested. in history, Morsman's clear passion for the material made the class more engaging. This class is very participation and discussion-based, but all of the grading is very fair.

I took Professor Morsman's class in the fall so I wanted to take another one. Insightful course on a pivotal era in U.S. history. Learned how the war reshaped society, law, and identity. Lectures were thought-provoking, and readings sparked great class discussions.

You will learn a lot in this course - not just names and dates, but also some pretty interesting and niche parts of Civil War History that you wouldn't learn anywhere else. Morsman is a great professor who always engages with students. However, if you are not a fan of discussion, this may not be the course for you as participation is 30% of your grade.
