Louisa Burnham
HIST
I think Burnham is a very good historian but she's a bit scattered. We don't get our projects back promptly, nor our tests. She also is not the greatest at responding to emails. There's a lot of random assignments that aren't particularly interesting. It's a semi easy class for a distribution requirement though.
Burnham loves European history, but she is so disorganized that it's impossible to follow lectures. Her Canvas page is super confusing. She also assigns Inquizitive textbook readings quizzes every week, which seem pretty useless. The material is pretty worthless and is focused on memorizing small details of random events. Super super disorganized.
I thought the material would have been interesting if it has been taught in a more concise manner. The lectures jumped around from topic to topic following an unclear pattern and were not in chronological order, which I feel a history class should be. Because of this, I found the material difficult to follow and draw connections between.
