Amy Morsman

Professor Morsman is great. She work incredibly hard to do the best for her students. She has great energy and is an engaging lecturer. The small group discussions were lively and informative. There was a ton of reading frontloaded onto the first couple weeks of class. I think we were doing almost a book a week, but then the load lightens significantly as the end of the semester nears and other classes ramp up.

The class moved pretty slowly in terms of content. Having no exams was nice but instructions and timelines for papers and group projects were not clear a lot of the time which made the class more stressful.

Professor Morsman is very nice and the course is decently easy, but the big issue is this course is way to simplistic. There is no military history, the Reconstruction aspect is focused on for maybe a week and even the content we review is a bit too lacking. Now Morsman is a good teacher and when we are in lectures the course is interesting and the Civil War is immensely fascinating however, in many ways this course feels way to much like an English course. We mostly read novels that are the real focus of the discussion rather than the history we learned in class and for the quizzes half the quizzes are based off of the reading. If you are fine with the reading aspect then this class is worth it if not then maybe do not take the class. Overall, I would slightly recommend the course and it being easy is a big bonus, but there are certainly some problems that I wish were fixed in the future.
