Jennifer Strtak

I needed to take this class for my major, and was quite skeptical about how it would go. However, I heard great things from other History majors about Professor Strtak, and they fortunately exceeded my expectations for the class. It's very discussion-based, with a lot of reading, but the professor does a very good job of engaging with the students and makes the classes much more enjoyable than most. Overall, I think its a good class to take for any history majors, would recommend.

This course is predominately lectures and weekly reading. There are a couple major writing assignments which can be graded a bit harshly, but if you give yourself enough time beforehand and go to office hours it is very manageable. Professor Strtak is very passionate about the topics she teaches and it shows through her lectures.

I loved the way Professor Strtak engaged with the material, particularly how she pivoted between two different topics during lecture. She was always engaging and demonstrated a passion for the material in students.
